There are at least two ways.  One is to set par(ask=T) so that you enter a 
RETURN before the next graph is drawn.  Another is to use postscript() to 
output a multiple-page file that is viewed with ghostview, which allows you to 
easily move among the pages.

I'm surprised that S-Plus 6 on Unix does not have a GUI with a tabbed 
multi-page graphics window.
