It would be more logical to just respect the user's wishes. Let
me use htmlhelp if I want to. 

I like to work in a full screen window. With virtual windows
it's only one keystroke to switch between full-screen Emacs and
full-screen Netscape. It are a lot of keystrokes in Emacs to get
to the help buffer, maximise it, and kill it when I'm done.

I now have to use a function:

    h <- function(...) help(htmlhelp=T,...)

But I'd rather just use the question mark.
