Perhaps we are not talking about the same thing but I don't see any numbers. My procedure - click on FAQ link below documentation, - click on R-FAQ link Result http://ca.geocities.com/jrkrideau/R/RFAQ.jpg > and doc/manual/R-FAQ.html does have numbered sections Click on R-Miscelanea Result http://ca.geocities.com/jrkrideau/R/RFAQ.jpg The sections themselves are numbered but not the ToC, at least as displayed in my browser. Apologies for the poor quality of the screen capture. As a check, I even found IE and had a look. I am getting the same display in Firefox and IE so it does not look like a browser issue. >and my browser's search finds 7.10 straight away. As does mine.
