Hi Sam, 

Usually you would first check the bindings in help buffers. If a help
facility is there, it should be bound to something in help. The command
you are searching for is ess-display-index bound to "i" in help buffers
(index because it's equivalent to R's html pages index link at the botom
of the page).

Second (or may be also the first) thing to try is ess-handy-commands
(bound to C-c h if you have the recent dev of ESS), help-index is also
there.
