Using Rscript under Windows, I would like to use help from the script. But since this should appear on a window, nothing is done. I tried the following: help1 = function (x) {windows(); options(locatorBell=F) plot(0,0,axes=F,frame.plot=F) print(help(x)) # The script may be called by source. locator(1); dev.off()} Then I call for example help1('seq'). Is there a more appropriate way to do this? Thanks Josef Eschgfaeller
