I prefer Adobe reader's directory search. But I don't have the
up-to-date set of pdf manuals on my computer. I can do an easy global
search of the html manuals with text wrangler but I then have to read
html. I am thinking I will have to start building my own R just to get
the ability to build the manual pdf's.
They are also available for download from CRAN, though you won't get the
Mac OSX FAQ. See the "Documentation" link on the left.
I forget whether there's a way to add items to the menu, but you can
certainly write a function to pick one and open it, e.g.
doc <- function(manual=file.choose()) {
system(paste('open', manual))
}

Dear list,
Would it be possible to include the pdf versions of the R manuals in
the CRAN mac R install? I find them easier to global search than html
ones. (I am used to having them on Windows.)
I generally copy the link to the html and paste them into my browser.
The search in the default GUI-invoked help panel doesn't handle
punctuation or revisions to searches at all well. The text get
overwritten in the bottom entry slot and I don't think the
search-revisions actually occur.
Regards,
Ruth
