any way to tell R.app to clear console (other than simulating cmd-option-L)?

I?d like to send an applescript command to R.app (from Textmate) to clear the console (as is achieved by ?Edit:Clear Console?)

Is there an R function that achieves that, or calls R.app?s menu items?

Hi Tim,
simply call this AppleScript which sends the key equivalent ??L to R.app

tell application "R"
	activate
	tell application "System Events"
		keystroke "l" using {command down, option down}
	end tell
end tell

Cheers,
--Hans
