[ESS] Changing the configuration of font colors

[John Maindonald]

(not in any particular order)
4. How do I comment a region: M-;
5. Indent region and undo: C-M-\   M-x 1
6. What does one actually type when it says C-M-\
7. How does ESS handle command line line history?  How do I get a  
history
transcript?
8. I've heard that there are commands for doing clever things with  
transcript file?
How do I get these to work for me?
9. Is there an R equivalent of M-x dired: (M-x ess-rdired)
10. Somewhere in the documentation it notes that A-M-r will get the  
previous
history matching string.  What does the A mean?  (Actually, I do not  
know!)
11. What are the five niftiest things that one can do with ESS?
