Hi all, Is there a way to navigate directly to the "Index" page of help for a package?
Here's my connundrum: I download and install package "foo". I don't know what functions are in package "foo", so I can't invoke the help for package "foo" via > ?someFunction help(package = "foo") pops up some non-hyperlinked information page, not package foo's help Index page. If the package author kindly made a "foo" object or function and put that in package "foo", then > ?foo works and yields a help page for package "foo". Now at the bottom of the help page is a hyperlink "Index" and I can click that to navigate to the main help Index page (the page I really want to get to straight from the R command line). I see that the link to "Index" for package "foo" appears always to be (on my Mac) file:///Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/foo/html/00Index.html e.g. file:///Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/cmprsk/html/00Index.html file:///Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/utils/html/00Index.html Is there a command from the R listener that can take me directly to this "00Index.html" page of help for package "foo"? something like > help("00Index", package = "utils") (but this does not work)?
