After some investigation I find that "R INSTALL dse" seems to work
well.
Also,
"R REMOVE dse" works but does not clean out ~/.R (which would be
pretty
difficult because all users may have this). The result is that a user will have
the impression that the package is installed when it has be remove. (This is
probably not too serious.)
However, "R INSTALL -l rlibs dse" clobbers
$RHOME/doc/html/packages.html and
$RHOME/doc/html/function.html. If help.start() is used then the first of these
is not seen by the user (and possibly is defunct and should be removed
entirely), but the second one is seen by the user (through a link in
~/.R/doc/html) and is seriously corrupted.
Some details are appended. I guess I'll stick with "R INSTALL
dse" for now.

After R make:
-rw-r--r-- 1 gilp res 154164 Nov 18 14:17
/home/res/gilp/R/doc/html/function.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 gilp res 1179 Nov 18 14:17
/home/res/gilp/R/doc/html/packages.html
After R INSTALL -l rlibs dse
-rw-r--r-- 1 gilp res 1493 Nov 18 14:25
/home/res/gilp/R/doc/html/function.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 gilp res 690 Nov 18 14:25
/home/res/gilp/R/doc/html/packages.html
these are clobbered
After R REMOVE -l rlibs dse
-rw-r--r-- 1 gilp res 154164 Nov 18 14:29
/home/res/gilp/R/doc/html/function.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 gilp res 1179 Nov 18 14:29
/home/res/gilp/R/doc/html/packages.html
these are restored to originals
After R INSTALL dse
-rw-r--r-- 1 gilp res 154290 Nov 18 14:36
/home/res/gilp/R/doc/html/function.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 gilp res 1315 Nov 18 14:36
/home/res/gilp/R/doc/html/packages.html
These are good. DSE documentation is added and R documentation is not clobbered.
After help.start()
~/.R has
doc/ library/
/home/res/gilp : ls -l .R/doc/html/pac*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 gilp res 61 Nov 18 14:41
.R/doc/html/packages-foot.html ->
/home/res4/gilp/R-versions/R-0.63/doc/html/packages-foot.html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 gilp res 61 Nov 18 14:41
.R/doc/html/packages-head.html ->
/home/res4/gilp/R-versions/R-0.63/doc/html/packages-head.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 gilp res 1997 Nov 18 14:41 .R/doc/html/packages.html
ls -l .R/doc/html/func*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 gilp res 56 Nov 18 14:41 .R/doc/html/function.html
-> /home/res4/gilp/R-versions/R-0.63/doc/html/function.html
After R REMOVE dse
-rw-r--r-- 1 gilp res 154164 Nov 18 15:01
/home/res/gilp/R/doc/html/function.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 gilp res 1179 Nov 18 15:01
/home/res/gilp/R/doc/html/packages.html
These are restored to the original but ~/.R makes it look to the user like the
packaage is there.
