I wonder if anyone who has worked on the win32 version of R could help me with a HtmlHelp question? When you're building a win32 program using mingw (in my case, cross-compiling under GNU/Linux), what import library do you use to link against the HtmlHelp() function? I have got a copy of MS's htmlhelp.lib, but mingw doesn't seem to like this format; it wants an archive in...

Hi folks, R on ESS Why it is unable to pop up help manual on "R on ESS"? ?layout Error in help("layout", htmlhelp = FALSE) : unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALS ?plot Error in help("plot", htmlhelp = FALSE) : unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALSE) etc. But they work on R console and popup the manual without problem. TIA B.R. Stephen L

...my session, which I'm running within Emacs (ESS 5.3.7). Say I need help with the command 'density'. When I type help(density) or ?density the ESS help buffer opens, it is titled *help[R](density)* but it contains only a couple of lines saying, e.g., Error in help("density", htmlhelp = FALSE) : unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALSE) This is a problem only running R within emacs. The command help() works fine if I run R at the command line in a terminal window or if I use the stand-alone R application. Thank you in advance Claudia -- Claudia Tebaldi Research Scientist, Cl...

...illa Active X control is needed, and then this control was downloaded from source.wineHQ.org (Mozilla ActiveX Control v1.7.12) and installed. I've installed Mozilla-1.7, too. And nevertheless, the command "wine hh document.chm" produces a message about a not supported protocol. So is htmlhelp viewer implemented in Wine or not yet? And if it is completely implemented, then how is it usable? Igor Gorbounov

...;)$err + err <- .C("Rchtml", hlpfile, rev(strsplit(file, "/")[[1]])[1], + err = integer(1), PACKAGE = "")$err but I think it is a problem by design and the name of the help pages should be returned by help() as well (not only implicitly). Well, for htmlhelp, there is another error. The browser (e.g. Mozilla 1.7.3) tries to open "T:\R\library\stats\html/Normal.html" and has problems with different kinds of slashes (/ vs. \). options(chmhelp=FALSE, htmlhelp=TRUE) ?dnorm # does not work! This can be fixed by changing line 4 in .../src...

...n a browser? If you do want text displayed in a browser, you can set options("pager") to point to your browser (or a wrapper). It is no different from other library() help modes, like library() with no argument, nor from help(package="foo"). Indeed, the help for help says htmlhelp: logical (or 'NULL'). If 'TRUE' (which is the default after 'help.start' has been called), the HTML version of the help on the topic will be shown in the browser specified by 'options("browser")'. and note 'topic'...

Dear all/anyone, after generating a HTML file "result.html" from within [R], I would like to open the default HTML browser (like help.start() does) to show the file. Is it possible to do this (without trying to do a system dependent search for possible browsers)? I browsed the source of package 'base' (R v1.4.1 WinMe) and I found the following in help():

...the difference. I'm using RH Linux 7.1 and Mozilla 0.9.5 and R 1.3.1. When I tried it before, I had use ESS to start R. If I run R without ESS, help.start() will start the browser (Mozilla), but help(apply), for example, will produce help in ESS but not in the browser. If I say help(apply,htmlhelp=T) then I do get help in the browser. If I say help(x) or ?x (knowing that x does not exist), I get an error message telling me that htmlhelp is FALSE. So ESS is somehow setting htmlhelp to FALSE, although I cannot figure out where that is happening from looking at the code for the help function...

Hi, I installed a program which also adds a start menu entry for viewing a HTMLHelp file. But there is some error, the HTMLHelp viewer within Wine is launched, the content pane to the left is displayed, but no text appears to the right. So I wanted to use kchmviewer instead. I manually edited the call in the start menu entry to use kchmviewer instead. I tested this call on the com...

I recently upgraded from R 1.8 to 1.9. I removed 1.8 following the instructions. Html help has not worked since. When htmlhelp="TRUE" the help.start() command results in the "patience" message and nothing else happens. I am using mac osx 10.3.4. Help worked fine when I was using R 1.8. I need help help ;-] Thanks! -- Emilio A. Laca One Shields Avenue, 2306 PES Building Agronomy and Range Science...
