I use the ugly hack shown below as my .Rprofile (mainly because I couldn't find any other way to spawn a new mozilla window on starting R or calling help.start(), but then send all the help html documents to that new window).
With a recent change from a cvs checkout to the released 1.9.0 I find that the new hs() appears if there is nothing of that name in .RData, but if there is the old hs() there, it just stays. What is the cause of this? Thanks, Robert. I'm using a debian i386 system. .Rprofile ========= library(gld) options(pager="less",CRAN="ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/cran";) hs <- function(){ if (nchar(system("echo $DISPLAY",intern=T))==0) # no X {options(htmlhelp=FALSE) ret <- "no X"} else {system("mozilla") # we have X - I'm starting this to get a new # window for the R session, without starting a new window every time options(pdfviewer="/usr/local/bin/acroread",browser="mozilla") help.start() ret <- "X"} ret } ---- Robert King, Statistics, School of Mathematical & Physical Sciences, University of Newcastle, Australia Room V133 ph +61 2 4921 5548 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/ He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well.
