Try:
help(package=tm)
(You do not need library(). )

I don't think help.start is what I'm looking for but I may be doing
it wrong. I tried:
library(tm)
help.start("tm")
This may be inappropriate as it returns:
library(tm)
help.start("tm")
Error in if (update) make.packages.html(temp = TRUE) :
argument is not interpretable as logical
Just typing help.start() takes me to a web page but I still have to
search.
I wrote a function to do what I want that I could place in
my .First() or a premade package but why bother if there's a way to
already do this?

After loading the package, does help.start() do what you want?

Simple question but searching rseek did not yield the results I

Question: Is there a way to open a help manual for a package from
within R.
For instance I would like to type a function in r for the tm
package and R would open that PDF as seen here:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tm/tm.pdf
-The vignette function exists for vignettes
[vignette("package.name")] so I assume the same exists for manuals.
-I do not want library(help="package.name") as this is not
detailed enough.
I am running R 2.14.0 beta on a windows 7 machine
Reproducible code does not seem appropriate in this case.
