[ESS] add TODOs into source code?

[gerald.jean at dgag.ca]

Hello there,

I'm a long time user of Emacs and ESS and this is new to me!  I tried to
"grep" on a large Splus code file and miraculuously I got all the instances
of the grep expression returned in the shell buffer.  I couldn't figure out
though how to jump to the selected piece of code in the source file, as
David suggest we can do?  How do you do that?  I'am on Linux as well and I
ran grep in an Emacs shell.

Thanks to all for these questions and answers that allow us, some of us at
least, to become better Emacs users.

Thanks a lot - I love emacs :-)

needing a special tool to do TODO lists - time and effort
thinking the emacs way  - priceless
