Scrolling *R* (or *S*) buffer

[Angel]

Thanks Martin, your advice on scrolling works great for me.
I have also found `C-c C-o' (`comint-kill-output'), which I didn't know of,
very helpful.
BUT, asking for even more, is it possible to do C-c C-o without first moving
the cursor to the R evaluation buffer (i.e from the buffer where I have the
R file i am editing).
Thanks again,
Angel
