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

Dear R-guys,

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?

Best, tim
