R help - Jun 1999 - R INSTALL -l

The FAQ says in 

[5.2 How can add-on packages be installed?]

to install a package to a private tree, use

[$ R INSTALL -l lib pkgdir_1 ... pkgdir_n]

where lib gives the path to the library tree to install to. 

which, for me, returns

Package '-l' does not exist. Has there been a change?

Thank you
Ross

Seems to work fine for me.  Can you give more details?  Which version is
this?  Which platform?  What exactly did you type at the shell prompt?
