Wishlist: Navigate to "Index" page of help when no topic specified (PR#13860)
Hi all,
When I install a new package, and don't yet know any function names,
I have to play the "poor man's game" to get to the standard
help system "Index" page for the package:
Poor Man's Game -=20
Load new package;=20
issue search() command;
find position (say N) of loaded package;=20

You could complain to the package author or maintainer, who should have
created a help alias with the package name

help in R 2.9.x for R 2.10.x packages
[Env: Win Xp]
Is there any options() setting or call to help() or help.start() that
will allow me to view a help file for
a package built under R 2.10.x under R 2.9.2?
I'm using both R 2.9.2 and R 2.10.1, but prefer the former because the
CHM help is so much easier
to use. Yet, if I install a package built for R 2.10.x, I can't find
*any* way to display a help file in this
package.

CHM error
Hi,
I would need some help in solving a problem with my R.
Whenever I try to type " ?paste " or in general any command for the html
help in R, I receive this error message. The strange thing is that I have
never had this kind of problem in the past with R, and now I really don't
understand why it says that. Also I have selected every single element in
the installation process.

No CHM file
I just built a package in R (version 2.1.1 on a Linux machine) and then moved it to my computer (R version 2.8.1 on a Windows machine). When I loaded the package and tried to open help for one of the commands, I got the following warning:
Warning message:

building packages: hhc.exe not found using xp
Hello,
Apologies in advance if this should be in R-devel, not Rhelp. I did read through the R-devel thread started by Gabor Grothendieck in September of this year - I am getting the exact same error using a new computer that has XP installed, not vista, complaining that the file hhc.exe is not found. I have downloaded the hhc.exe to HTML Help Workshop dir in Program Files but it says that

Navigate to Index page of a package from R command prompt
Hi all,
Is there a way to navigate directly to the "Index" page of help
for a package?
Here's my connundrum:
I download and install package "foo".
I don't know what functions are in package "foo",
so I can't invoke the help for package "foo" via
> ?someFunction
help(package = "foo")
pops up some non-hyperlinked information page,

Wishlist for promptPackage / index
Hi R-devels,
would it be possible to enhance either promptPackage()
or the default indexing mechanism for packages
so that -- if it exists -- (the contents of) file
<pkgname>-package.Rd is sorted first in
* the .dvi / .pdf documentation file
* the .chm documentation file
* the package 00index.html documentation file
?
So far I found the following "hand-made" solution

problems with printing and plotting aareg
It's a bug in summary.aareg which no one found until now.
What's wrong:
If dfbeta=TRUE then there is a second estimate of variance calculated, labeled as
test.var2. If maxtime is set, then both estimates of variance need to be recalculated by
the summary routine. An incorrect if-then-else flow led it to look for test.var2 when it
wasn't relevant. My test cases with maxtime also

Help in R
I have R 2.8.0 installed on Ubuntu 8.04. It seems to run fine,
except for the html help interface.
I get help OK when doing ?mean on the command line, for example,
but when I do help.start() and try to get help for mean it gives me
an error message:
Firefox can't find the file

One more note
There are some warnings earlier in the log about my .Rd files (missing a
description of weights and subset in a couple). The only message that I
don't completely understand is
* checking foreign function calls ... OK
* checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE
Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) :
Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system
I'm also curious about this.

problems with plotting and printing aareg
Hi all,
I've ventured into the world of nonparametric survival and I would like to use the "maxtime" option for printing and plotting my aareg fit.
However, my fit does not have "test.var2" and this stops the print and plot when adding a maxtime.
My code is as follows:
Response<-Surv(Time,Event)
Model<-aareg(Response~Factor1*Factor2)

invalid \uxxxx sequence while trying to create a package
Greetings, R-Helpers:
I am trying to build a package on WinXP, something that I have done before,
but infrequently, and have recently updated both the Rtools and the version
of R being used.
My test case fails after successfully creating the compiled html files with
this error message:
