The default browser for the html help system is not set correctly for OS X. This makes the html help work great on OS X: > options(browser = "open") > help.start() "open" is an OS X launcher app that inspects a file and launches it with the appropriate application (it is the same as double clicking). It launches in the system preferred browser - which is great - integration with the OS for free :) Perhaps this could be added to the darwin.hints file (if such a thing is used for R) or otherwise added in so that it is the default. The user-experience is definately increased by being able to read the help at the same time one uses it :) I've promoted the packager for the OS X fink package to set this as the default in the build if that is possible. ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
