Java doesn't seem to present a problem with clunky old Netscape 4.7x
if anyone still has one hanging around.  That could be considered
scaling down expectations.

Simpler and more satisfactory, IMHO, is to use ? or C-c C-v in ESS
sometimes in conjunction with help.search().  Links to other help
files require a 'h' and <Enter>.  Does everything I need and I'm yet
to be convinced that's a scaling down.

Just in case anyone didn't know:  ESS is brilliant!
