While following Mark's suggestions, try doing 

M-x R

and that might start R.

Then, you can do:

C-x 2 ("split the screen" as is said in other editors)

move to the one without the running R, and open there an R file (or you can 
just create it on the fly:

C-x C-f 

and in the minibuffer type anything, e.g., "one-file.R"   (without the 
quotes).



Then, type

C-h m

and you'll get a list of stuff related to the ESS mode.



And I think you will then really need to look at the ESS doc and go through 
the (X)Emacs tutorial (which is available from the help, in (X)Emacs).


HTH,


R.
