John,
I think you never said on which platform (Unixish / Mac /
Windows) you work, since the "console"s differ.
But in all three cases, everything is built on free software
(contrary to Matlab), so you could go ahead and improve the
console behavior and post the improved sources for future
inclusion.
One advantage in using ESS has been that you have the (almost)
identical interface on all computer platforms.
