There are two ways that might be considered better, if better implies 
doing things from within R.

1.) At an R plot, type x11() to start a window, then under the History 
menu item, click 'Recording'. Now do your plots, and you can go back and 
forth through them using 'Page up' and 'Page down'.

2.) Set par(ask = TRUE), then submit your code. You will then have to 
hit return to create each sucessive plot.

HTH,

Jim
