[BioC] How to open the edgeR Users Guide within R?

[Gordon K Smyth]

Dear Cei,

Thanks for pointing out the changed behaviour of openVignette().

You're not missing anything obvious I think.  In R for Windows, there's a 
drop-down menu item for the edgeR User's Guide.  In Unix or Mac, however, 
the easiest way is following the html package help starting from 
help.start(), and that requires quite a few clicks to get to it.

So I've just now committed through a new function

   edgeRUsersGuide()

to the release version of edgeR, which will work just like the 
corresponding function in limma.  If you wait a day or two for Biconductor 
to rebuild the package, you get the new function when you reinstall edgeR.

Best wishes
Gordon
