[R] R help - howto suppress chm help and use text/latex help?
Dear R Users, I've installed R with the chm option, but eventually I found I am more used to the normal way of latex help. Is there any argument to suppress chm help by default when starting R? So that I don't have to type something like >help(rle,chmhelp=NULL) I know the last resort would be to reinstall R. Thanks in advance! - J
