Hi, I' using Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 and on both of the systems help doesn't work unless I set options(help_type="html"). I hate to change context and help_type='html' distracts me. I want text based help inside console. Where should I look to fix this problem? -- Amol
Don't know the internals behind, but when I did this:> help.search('qplot', rebuild=T)the text help started working. It would be interesting to know why it worked that way. Also if it is happens always, it should have been documented somewhere -- so that new users (who needs help) will not get disappointed [I was using R without help until i found about option(help_type='html')]. Anyway, i'm glad that it started working. -- Amol On Sat, Aug 20, 2011 at 11:55 AM, Amol Jadhav <amolj.1306 at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi, > > I' using Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 and on both of the systems help doesn't > work unless I set options(help_type="html").

What does "doesn't work" mean? What is the output? Error message? R version? .....
