[ESS] Problem with menus with emacs 23.1.1; suppressing extra window

[Frank E Harrell Jr]

In running the latest debian ess with emacs 23.1.1 I am getting empty 
menus (Imenu-S, ESS).  I'm using R 2.10.0 on ubuntu karmic.  My .emacs 
is below.

Secondly, the the html help system when used with ess opens an empty 
emacs frame when help is called.  I would prefer suppressing that.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
Frank
