Dear all, I just tried to be fast for once, installed R 2.10 and also newly installed all previously-installed packages. However, now all my help files are text only, which is of course a pity with the new possibilities of links between help pages. What can I do to re-activate chm-help? chm-help does not work for anything, not even base functionality. My system is Windows XP, German locale computer. On installation, I was asked to decide for text or html help and chose html (there was no radio button for chm help). I did choose SDI windows and did not install translated messages or any pdf manuals. This is all I can think of as relevant to the topic. Thanks for any suggestions, Regards, Ulrike -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Cannot-activate-chm-help-in-R-2.10-tp26067423p26067423.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
I realize now that the dynamic help is no longer implemented via chm apparently. But nevertheless, the intention is certainly to be able to call help WITH links from within R? What can I do to make that work instead of the pure text files I get at the moment ? Could a proxy be in the way ? I think that the new help system is a great step forward (if I can get it going with links).
