In the latest R 2.8 alpha for Win32, if either of the commands are typed:
> help("erfc")
.. or ..
> ?erfc
the result is:
No documentation for 'erfc' in specified packages and libraries:
you could try '??erfc'

This should be: 'help.search("erfc")', as shown in R 2.7.2
Apologies if this has already been submitted/fixed.
