How did you start R? In a terminal window like xterm, konsole, ... ?

A few things come to mind:
i) Cheap: Just open another xterm, konsole, ... and run R there to
invoke help()
ii) Still cheap: call help.start() to launch a browser, and look
at the help via the browser
iii) Fancier: Try using Emacs and ESS, help will then be in another buffer
iv) Alternatively: Use another program as the pager via the PAGER
environment variable, or via options()
v) Harder: Use JGR, but that is not trivial to set up, though it is
possible on Debian and Ubuntu.
