I can't reproduce that. I get forward slashes only. Can you track down where the \ are coming from? > options(chmhelp=FALSE, htmlhelp=TRUE) > ?dnorm # does not work! > > > This can be fixed by changing line 4 in > .../src/library/utils/R/windows/help.R > as follows: > > - browseURL(file) > + browseURL(chartr("/", "\\", file)) > > > > > AArrrrrgh, I've never used non-text help pages in the developer releases > ... and obviously nobody else ... Well, I have and Firefox works properly, for example. I've not used Mozilla recently as Firefox seems rather better. I also checked, and IE6 works too. Do you have a browser set (options(browser=)), or are you relying on file associations? Since this is to be a file:// URL, I believe forward slashes are correct, but we are at the mercy of Windows browser providers. Brian -- Brian D.
