This works. Not entirely invisible but not a big deal about that. The R code run within Rterm is options(help_type="html",help.ports=6800) help.start() library(audio) wait(-1) [couldn't find another way to hang R indefinitely in batch mode] > A disadvantage of doing this is that you won't see help relevant to your > current session, you'll see help relevant to the background task.

The current version is on the path and the path will get updated (manually) after a new version is installed. Thus, the relevant help will be always displayed. Thanks, this is a kind of solution. Now I can use bookmarks to HTML help for the favorite libraries when working in ESS - the impossibility to set those and the need to start Rgui was the big nuisance. I am sure the new help system will get gradually improved in the future.
