[ESS] Problem getting help window to appear within Emacs

[Munawar Cheema]

Ali, It is already set to nil.
I didn't mention the first time I type ?ls I get a beep and only on the
second and subsequent attempts do I get a pop up GUI window.

Here is some gobbledegook I get out in the *ESS* buffer if it helps.

Making Process...Buf *R*, Proc R, Prog C:/Program
Files/R/R-2.14.2/bin/i386/Rterm.exe
 Start File=nil, Args= --ess  .
