 

I just upgraded from Version R-2.4.1 to R-2.7.0. When I invoked the

new version of R from Emacs 22.2.1 (using Vincent Goulet's Emacs

distribution) and tried getting help on the R matrix function, a buffer
was

created with the usual name *help[R](matrix}* was created but it was

empty. This is true for all functions I tried whether i used help() or

? and it was true for Ess 5.3.5, 5.3.6, and 5.3.7.  I am on Windows

XP.
