R starts its own mini web server which parses the raw text pages
No, actually it uses the parsed form of the Rd files anmd renders them
in either html or other formats...
and serves them as HTML. It does so using a particular randomly chosen port
number on 127.0.0.1 (localhost). The port number is listed in the message 'if
nothing happens, you should open ....'
followed by a url to paste into your browser.
Paste the url into your browser.
If that message isn;t appearing, something more complicated is wrong!
Maybe one of your packages is installed with R < 2.10.0 ? In that case
it is not aware of the new help system and you get a cooresponding
message when loading the package.

Well, when I try to access help files (not all of them actually) without
internet connection, I don't get anything.
What is it related to then?

Hi,
I think you do need an Internet connection to access the help files
with R2.10.
No, it's all local, but you do need a web browser if you want to view
the HTML help. If you don't want the HTML help, you can set the help
type to "text" using
options(help_type="text")
Then ?help will show you more options.

There might be some way to access them off-line, though I have no
idea how.
Maybe someone here knows.

Hello everyone,
I have versions 2.7.2 and 2.10.1 installed on a machine that has no
access to internet.
In 2.7.2 I can use ? to get help on functions, which in 2.10.1 that
does not work, all I see is "starting httpd help server...done" and
then nothing.
Have I downloaded 2.10.1 incorrectly (=forgot to tick some box for
local help file repository) or is the internet help now the standard
way to search help on functions?
Thank you in advance for help.
Sergey
