Dear R Mac folks, I have not seen a thread on this so I thought I would get some input regarding tiff output on a Mac. I am currently running OS 10.6.1 and R 2.9.2 GUI 1.29 Tiger build 32-bit (5464). I realize that the easiest way to save a plot is to select File, Save As. Which outputs a .pdf

Peter, On my system (SnowLeopard, below R builds) I did see the warning messages (but the internal help worked fine). This morning I changed the htmlhelp settings as suggested by the warning message ( help_type ='html' ) in main.m and rebuild R.app. The warnings are gone and help still
