[ESS] ESS not returning to R process after R> help.start() ?

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

I don't know about running the HTML help system from within Emacs, but ESS
directly interfaces with the help system so you can search etc. using ESS.
Just try ?something on the command line. Or from a script buffer you can Do
C-c C-v to get help on a function.
