I get the same symptoms as Andreas and Frede. Typing "h" within a help 
buffer brings up a help prompt but doesn't provide a default. This is 
true even if I strip everything out of my .emacs but the following line:

(load "c:/e/home/site-lisp/ess-5.2.12/lisp/ess-site")

Here are my system details:

Win XP
GNU Emacs 21.2.1
ESS 21.5.12

I never realized this feature was there, but now that I know, I want 
it! :) I tried it under the livecd Quantian under both Emacs and 
X-Emacs, and it worked properly on both.
