Ah, sry for dummy explanation. ess-help-own-frame is set to nil.
I usually work with two buffers opened side by side (C-x 3). So I got used
to see help buffer appear in the the buffer other than one that has focus.
E.g. if I have *R* buffer on the left hand side, I'd like to see R help
buffer appear in the right. That's not what happens now - if I call C-c C-v
in *R* buffer, help buffer is opened in the same window where *R* was
located. I saw the R Help config stuff, but it tends to open help buffer in
a new frame, which I don't like.
