Dear Mathieu,

thank you for your assurance that my manual-reading-skills are on  
par! ;-)

The thing is, though, that I can't get it to work. In the index of  
the help pages, it reads: ''Read overview or browse directory". The  
'browse directory' option does not work. When clicked on the 'Read  
overview' option, the following text appears:

"Vignettes of package Read.isi
Sorry, the package contains no vignette meta-information or index.  
Please browse the directory."

So, clearly, some links are missing. Should I manually create an  
index file? If so, how do I specify the link to the .PDF file?

I hope someone can help[.
Thank in advance,

Rense Nieuwenhuis
