similar to: more problems when using "installWithVers"

It might be my settings or improper use -- but if I use the "installWithVers=TRUE" flag for update.packages(), I don't seem to get updates; and if I use "install.packages(new.packages(),installWithVers=TRUE)", it seems to (re-)install identical versions of what I have.

After re-installing R.app from the same R-2.1.0.dmg file, and fixInNamespace'ing(*) install.packages(), I managed to update 23 outdated packages from CRAN binaries for MacOS X.

I edited the hello.Rd file.
