I just gave the above "program" example to illustrate my question.
I understand that it seems to be difficult to have sth. like line
numbers
in S objects. However, the idea that browser() would cause a jump of the
cursor
to the corresponding position in the ESS source window would be a nice
feature
(at least for me).
