perhaps what you want is a named session, see http://orgmode.org/manual/session.html

Hi

I can start a session as follow:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+begin_src R :session Test
cat("Session Test\n")
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Now I hava an R session named *Test*. But how can I closes this session?
I thought about just quitting R

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+begin_src R :session Test
q(save = "no)
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

but this does not return as ESS is waiting for the prompt (">").

Is there a way of closing the session *Test* and close the buffer?

My reasoning is that I want to do different longer analysis in one org
file and start each in its own session, i.e. clean R. But as they
involve several steps, I don't want to put them into one code block.

So I have several code blocks which I want to execute in a "throw away
session" which I would like to discard afterwards.

So I am looking for something like

#+CLOSE_SESSION Test

which would then close the session *Test*

Is something like this possible at the moment?
