html help in R

[gpetris at definetti.uark.edu]

Hello,

I am using ESS 5.1.16, with emacs 20.7.2 on a sun.
I don't understand the following behavior of the R help under ESS.
When I start the htlm version of the help pages with 

> help.start()

everything works fine: netscape pops up with the main help page. 
At this point,

> options("htmlhelp")
$htmlhelp
[1] TRUE

But then, if I ask for help with, say

> help(plot)

I get the required help page in another buffer in emacs and not in
netscape. Is this an expected behavior? (It is not when running R in a
term window.) How can I fix/change it? 
Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Giovanni
