Dear r-bugs, The 'see also' link in help(area,html=T) is broken, see line 91 in library/MASS/html/area.html: "../../integrate/html/integrate.html" should be "../../base/html/integrate.html" Regards, Arni OS: Windows XP R: 1.7.1 MASS: 7.1-8

[Rd] Minor error in area() documentation (PR#3378)
This part of a contributed package (MASS), not part of R. Please send comments on contributed packages to their maintainers rather than R-bugs. In this case the link was intentionally to package `integrate', which is no longer on CRAN (but is still installed in some places). It is quite legitimate for packages to link to other packages, when the links will be broken if the other packages are not installed. Remember that function area() is only there for historical continuity (it has a 1994 reference).
