Version: 1040 OS: Windows 98 SE Problem: I have installed R with all help files to a network read-only drive. help.start() requires rw on two files ../R/rw1040/doc/html/packages.html ../R/rw1040/doc/html/search/index.txt This is a minor issue as running R 1.4.0 help from the start menu works fine. Perhaps the next version may address this?
