R help - Jan 2010 - navigation panel with help

All,

I installed the lastest version of R 2.10.1. On the help page for a specific
function, it turns out that the vertical navigation panel on the left does
not appear anymore. For example, 

?lm

The help page from this command is a page without navigation panel (which I
prefer to use). I notice there is an index link at the bottom of the page.
By the way, I did not make any change on my browser.

Is this a change for this version? Thank you for your help.

Yes, we have dropped support for CHM help, which had the navigation 
pane.  The default display is now HTML help.

Duncan,

Thank you for your quick reply. Do we users have any options to change
that? I personally become addicted to the navigation panel and feel it
is kind of table of contents.

Regards,


Edwin Sun
