R help - Feb 2000 - Problem with 'link.html.help()'

Hello,

I just recently installed R 0.99 and use Windows 98.
It appears as if  
link.html.help()

locks the system. But somehow the information on 'Mass' is there but not
about 'survival5'. Both these libraries are

installed and functions OK.

Any help available?

Does it give a prompt 1: on the console?: Just hit return.  This happens if
some package you have installed lacks a TITLE file. None of those I have on
the contrib area on CRAN are deficient, but I have met this recently. (The
imminent rw1000 will check such things much more carefully as a result.)

[Note to package distributors: do run the R CMD build checks, as that will
tell you if files are missing.]

Alternatively, follow the advice in the rw-FAQ about using `make indices'
as being the preferred way to do this.
