...he windows version of R. The windows installer asks which help type you want to use, I wanted to test the chm version -- which I didn't like. If you after installation want to switch back, you have to edit << myRdirectory\etc\Rprofile.site >> and change the line options(chmhelp=TRUE) back to options(chmhelp=FALSE) It would be nice if -- in a future release -- this also could be changed in the GUI settings.

Hi! I tried to use compiled html on the following system: NT4.0 SP6 (with _old_ IE3), R-1.0.1. R > help(ls, chmhelp=TRUE) ... but nothing happens ... >From the R Readme: "To make use of this you will need a recent version of Windows or IE4 or later installed, or use the updater hhupd.exe on CRAN at bin/windows/windows-NT/etc." So I used the updater 'hhupd.exe'. After that (and r...

I've recently updated to R 2.4 and have noticed that when I type ?help.on.something in ESS from within emacs, the old text help doesn't show up in the "other" (other being the horizontally split windows) window. Instead the windows chm help file pops up. Is there any way to get R to revert back to the old "simple text based help in the top window" help? I couldn't

I cannot seem to get compiled help working with XP in neither 1.6 or 1.61. The ReadMe.rw1061 specifies: (ii) Compiled HTML files. Set this as the default by options(chmhelp=TRUE) or for individual help items by help(topic, chmhelp=TRUE). Full text search is available from the Search tab. According to Microsoft, to make use of this you will need to have IE3 or later installed and a recent version of Windows or (not Windows XP or 2000 or ME) use the updater hhupd.exe a...

Hi I tried to customize help(), so it starts the compiled html help, and searches in all packages. I wrote the following function: > my.help function(topic){ help(topic, package=.packages(all=T), lib.loc=.lib.loc, chmhelp=T) } When I use it with >my.help(help) give the following error: Error in help(topic, package = .packages(all = T), lib.loc = .lib.loc, : No documentation for `topic' I tried also with > my.help function(x){ help(x,chmhelp)} with the same result. Only doing help(help) is wo...

R-2.0.0, WinNT / WinXP: options(chmhelp=TRUE) ?dnorm # does not work! ?Normal # works! Looks like calling compiled html help does not work for aliases, but only for the title of help pages...

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

Hello list, I have encountered a problem trying to save graphs using the R-graphics menu: File|Save as. The menu suggests that files may be saved as either Metafile, Postscript, pdf, png, bmp, jpeg. When I specify any of those file formats a menu comes up requesting a file name. After providing a name R invariably hangs and has to be restarted. I am able to save files under the various

When I try e.g. help(as.symbol, chmhelp = TRUE) I get an error message in the help viewer (translated to english: "The page cannot be shown"). This happens for all aliased topics (i.e. aliased in the *.Rd file). So I have to know the "unaliased" name (here: "name") to get chtml help. Is it possible to get...

Hi all, I was playing with R-devel 2005-03-08 on winXP Pro (installed from Duncan's installer). My .Rprofile contains: options(defaultPackages=c(getOption("defaultPackages"), "mypkg"), chmhelp=TRUE) but "mypkg" has not yet been installed in the library/ directory of this installation. When Rgui starts, I do not get any error or warning, but upon running one command, I get: Warning messages: 1: there is no package called 'mypkg' in: library(package, character.only = T...

Dear list members (esp. Duncan), I've run into the following curious problem with Version 2.2.0 alpha for Windows: Options in the Profile file in R's etc directory don't appear to be set. (I habitually uncomment options(chmhelp=TRUE), to no effect in this case.) As far as I can see, the only thing non-standard about my installation is that I put R 2.2.0 alpha under c:\R rather than under c:\Program Files.

Hi, I have a problem with my the R help system. I have been searching through the help archives but I can't find anything about it and I don't know how to specify my search better. When I type for instance "?hist", just the next command line prompt shows but nothing actually happens. There is no help window coming up. I already tried reinstalling R (2.2.1, windows XP) but that

I would like to use Rterm in Windows XP and have the help files appear in text format in the terminal rather than in the html popup window. For example, I would like to enter help(lm) and get the text to appear in the terminal window. Can anyone suggest a way to do this? Thanks and Happy Hew Year. Tom -- View this message in context:
