R help - Sep 2005 - Reference manual is not available in the help menu of the rgui

Dear R list,

I have installed R 2.1.1 for Windows. In the help menu
of the Rgui I can load all manuals except the
reference manual. I downloaded the reference manual
from the cran-site separately and saved it into the
same folder as the other manuals but still it is not
available in the menu. How can I solve this problem?

Thank your for the help

Would you really want to read that cover to cover? Everything in it is
available via the on-line help system.

Re-install, and this time check the box to install that manual.  But as 
Peter says, it's not really very useful, it's just a collection of man 
pages from the base packages.
