Well, you can only do that in S-PLUS *for Windows* (it is one of several
options for a graphsheet() device). In R for Windows there is a windows()  
device where you can turn on history recording and move between plots with
the page keys.  (This is in the README!)

One again, R is not S-PLUS, and if you want features of S-PLUS, why not 
use it?  Especially if they are user-level convenience features.
