Dear Brian, Because this problem surfaced only with the Rcmdr package, and other packages checked without error, I thought that the problem was in the package. Also R CMD INSTALL Rcmdr built the chm help pages correctly, as far as I can see.
Anyway, I'll try again in a few days. Thank you for the information (and the admonishment).
