Dear Mathieu, thank you for your assurance that my manual-reading-skills are on par! ;-)
The thing is, though, that I can't get it to work. In the index of the help pages, it reads: ''Read overview or browse directory". The 'browse directory' option does not work. When clicked on the 'Read overview' option, the following text appears: "Vignettes of package Read.isi Sorry, the package contains no vignette meta-information or index. Please browse the directory." So, clearly, some links are missing. Should I manually create an index file? If so, how do I specify the link to the .PDF file? I hope someone can help[.
