Yes. I understood; and the same applies to Frede.
But it means there's a considerable problem / bug in your
Emacs/ESS setup.
The help-mode section commands are governed by the variable
ess-help-sec-keys-alist
This should be 'nil' after starting Emacs
and should become [C-h v ess-help-sec-keys-alist]

after M-x R
(M-x S or M-x S+ or ...
will define a different list, since the S-plus help
pages look a bit different).

I guess something is badly wrong in your emacs initialization if
you don't get the above; but I don't know.
Could it be that you are accidentally mixing two different
installations of ESS, e.g. one that ``comes with your system''
and one that you set up yourself?
