[ESS] Submitting function call from .R file buffer to ESS process

[Erik Iverson]

Hello list  -

I am using ESS in XEmacs for R use.  I often find myself with the 
following situation.  I'm debugging a function whose call contains many 
parameters over several lines, like the following:

myplotfunc(list(c("AE_YN","MULTAE","SAE_YN"),
             c("ACT0","ACT1","ACT2","ACT3","ACT4","ACT5","ACT6")),
        "ae",
        cohort="test",
        horz=T,
        lvs=1,
        tbl.lvs=1:0,
        mar=c(2.8,8,.1,.6),
        fig=list(c(0,.82,.635,1),c(0,.82,0,.635)),
        xlim=c(0,100),
        ablv=0, ablv.lwd=.5,
        cnt.las=1,
        labMaxchar=20,
        lgnd.loc=c(1,.1),
        )

I need to submit this function call from a .R file to the ESS process to 
see if changes to the myplotfunc() function work.  Since it is longer 
than one line, C-c C-j does not work.  I find myself highlighting the 
whole function and submitting the region with C-c C-r.  This works fine, 
but I'm wondering if there's some way to send the function call that 
point is located in without having to highlight the whole region first.

I thought that C-c C-f would work, but that appears to be sending a 
function definition to the process, not the call.

I have a feeling this behavior is not implemented in ESS, but I thought 
I'd ask!

Thanks a lot,
Erik Iverson
