[ESS] Adjustment to C-c C-p behavior

Hello,
I changed the behavior of ess-eval-paragraph-and-step (bound to C-c C-p)
to be consistent with ess-eval-line-and-step (C-c C-n).
While debugging a R source file I noticed that I had to use C-c C-n
several times on multi-line expressions (i.e., paragraphs), to
continuously see the evaluation outcome on the *R* buffer. Naturally I
also tried C-c C-p, but its behavior had a subtle difference: the cursor
on the *R* buffer didn't stay at the end of the buffer, thereby forcing
me to manually scroll down to see the latest evaluation results.
To change the behavior of the C-c C-p, so that the *R* buffer
continuously shows the latest evaluation outcome, I edited the file
'ess-inf.el' that comes with ESS 5.3.3:
;; Previous code
(defun ess-eval-paragraph-and-step (vis)
"Send the current paragraph to the inferior ESS process and
move forward to the next paragraph.
Arg has same meaning as for `ess-eval-region'."
(interactive "P")
(let ((beg-end (ess-eval-paragraph vis)))
(goto-char (1+ (cadr beg-end))))
)
;; New code
(defun ess-eval-paragraph-and-step (vis)
"Send the current paragraph to the inferior ESS process and
move forward to the next paragraph.
Arg has same meaning as for `ess-eval-region'."
(interactive "P")
(let ((beg-end (ess-eval-paragraph vis)))
(goto-char (1+ (cadr beg-end)))
;; Added by ASFE, December 4, 2006
(ess-eval-linewise "" nil 'eob))
)
I've been using the patched 'ess-inf.el' since yesterday and haven't
noticed any unusual side effects.
Cheers,
António Ferreira
