[R] Activating html help in R 2.10

2009-11-04 Thread Frank E Harrell Jr
After reading the news about the release of R 2.10 I expected that 
typing for example ?cut would automatically open a web browser.  But I 
don't see any difference in how help is displayed under Ubuntu Linux 
(karmic).  How does one activate the new dynamic html help?


Thanks
Frank

See ?options and ?help for more info.
