Thanks for the info,

I'm happy to use the new httpd server that serves the help files -
that'd definitely help. My difficulty with this approach is that I'm
not sure how to get the URL -

Say for example I've done help.start(),

then I do:

help(plot)

it will redirect my web browser to the plot page -

How can I stop it touching my web browser and instead return to me the URL.

I tried overriding the browseURL() function, but it seem to do nothing.

Perhaps something like this:

> options( browser = function(url, ...) print( url ) )
> ?plot
[1] "http://127.0.0.1:9000/library/graphics/html/plot.html";

It's much more simple since 2.10 as you can simply use the URL (same URL as the 
help system uses). For examples see JGR or the Mac GUI. Or you can do the same 
thing that the Rhttpd server does  actually generating the html - see 
tools:::httpd
