I don't, really. C-c C-v invokes ess-display-help-on-object but the
output is often truncated. My approach is to read it inline, with the
following little defun assigned to C-c RET, to place the point at the
start of the output:
(defun my-ess-ret-and-watch ()
(interactive)
(let ((sit-point (save-excursion (beginning-of-line) (point))))
(inferior-ess-send-input)
(goto-char sit-point)
(recenter 0)))
This is a handy function for any command that outputs a lot of text, but
it would be better for help to appear in another buffer.
