I have a small package with some functions for this, it can be downloaded from
http://www.maths.manchester.ac.uk/~gb/Rpackages/index.html
There is a nice package (fgui) which provides an easy way to make gui-style
functions (using tcl//tk).
It seems that it has not been updated for the new help system, though.
(I am using a modified version of fgui locally but was not able to contact the
author).

Have UI that simplifies running code from another (internal) package,
allowing user to set values on fields I basically grabbed from results
of calls to formals() for various functions. That works fine for the
most part. But it was requested to investigate some type of popup help
or something for each field.
Since I already wrote the information in the dot-Rd files for what
should be displayed, was wondering if (how) that information could
be accessed. For example, given formal argument 'x' to function 'foo',
I would like to grab the text associated with \item{x} in \arguments{}
section of manual page, preferably without scraping.

We simply don't have a reproducible example, nor the 'at a minimum'
information required by the posting guide.
Is prodlim installed?
Is it in the library tree you set as R_LIBS?
Note the following from 'Writing R Extensions':
Note: R CMD check and R CMD build run R with --vanilla, so none of the
user's startup files are read. If you need R_LIBS set (to find
packages in a non-standard library) you can set it in the environment:
also as from R 2.12.0 you can use files ~/.R/check.Renviron and
~/.R/build.Renviron to set environment variables when using these
utilities.
and we've seen non-reproucible reports that use of ~/.R/check.Renviron
(rather than setting R_LIBS in the environment) was needed. So please
try that.
