Thanks Niels but it won't do.. please copy and paste the 2 lines below

to your console in order to see what I mean:

cat("?"); a<-readLines(n=1)
b<-paste("t",a,sep="")

anyone / any idea to overcome this problem?

Best,

You might want to source() a file with those lines rather than pasting
them to the console. There's just no way you can retroactively insert
text between two already submitted lines.

Exactly, it works when you source() the file.

You can do things like this, though

{cat("?"); a<-readLines(n=1)
"hey"
  b<-paste("t",a,sep="")}

However, there's a catch

{cat("?"); a<-readLines(n=1)
+ "hey"
+  b<-paste("t",a,sep="")}
?ada
b
[1] "tada"

Notice that the "hey" doesn't print.
