[ESS] End of Line type in R documentation

[Howard Li]

I found the cause of the problem. Just like Vitalie said, the help 
buffer gets unix encoding.

To deal with Chinese characters in data, I've added the some code to my 
settings, but I don't know why it was set to utf-8-unix, it should be 
chinese-gbk-dos.

(add-hook 'ess-R-post-run-hook
           (lambda ()
             (set-buffer-process-coding-system
              'utf-8-unix 'utf-8-unix)
             ))

After changing utf-8-unix to chinese-gbk-dos, everything works great.

Many thanks to Vitalie and James!

Best wishes,

Yuheng
