I noted that the new html-help in 2.10 under Windows uses a random

This cause a problem, because when I create a link such as:
http://127.0.0.1:28027/library/stats/html/addmargins.html
this is for one-time use only. Is it possible to fix the port?
Not currently. If you look in tools:::startDynamicHelp you can see
how

Too bad. When I saw the port, I immediately changed all my static
links to
use the ports, because it looked like a good idea to have addresses
that do
not change when I install into a new directory.
Back to the drawing board. Maybe I should use R_HOME instead.
You still didn't answer the crucial question -- what are you trying to
do? If whatever you're building has something to do with R then this
is no issue since you get the port from R. And if you're working on
something unrelated to R then nothing prevents you from using the same
approach that old R versions used -- create a "static" file that
points to the correct URL for the current session (like help links in
2.9 and earlier). But again, unless we know what you're up to we can't
help you with solutions...
Cheers,
Simon
