R help - May 2007 - plots - scatterplots - find index of a point in a list

Hi,

is it possible to find the index of a point of a plot (e.g. scatterplot) in
an easy way?

Eg.
x <- c(1:5); y <- c(1:5);
plot(x, y);

On the plot if I move my cursor on top of a point or click on it is it
possible to have its index printed or its exact value? Any clues?

Thanks.
