[ESS] No documentation displayed on R 2.4.1

[Vincent Goulet]

Robert,

 From my understanding of the situation, this is happening since R  
2.4.0 when using Windows help became the default. [Anyone fell free  
to correct me if I'm wrong here.]

Setting

 > options(chmhelp = FALSE)

should solve the problem. If you do not want to issue this command at  
every startup, save it in your .Rprofile file; see ?Startup for more  
information.
