[ESS] Multi-line commands and comint-previous-prompt (from the menu Backward Output Group)

[Vitalie Spinu]

You have to position your cursor at the end of the expression. Only the
code preceding the prompt is executed.

It's better to use M-p or comint-previous-matching-input-from-input to
recall previous command at the prompt directly.
