evaluating keystroke

On the question of evaluating keystrokes:

I often plot subsets of data to get a sense of what I'm looking for. I
generally run a for loop with the specification par(ask=TRUE) after each
plot command, so that I can take time to look over the data before going
on to the next plot by pressing RETURN.B

Would it be possible to use readline() in such a command sequence to write
a comment about each plot before going on to the next? This would
certainly help me take quicker and better notes when examining data, and
might even allow me to use R in a perception/classification experiment.

Thanks,

David
