Hi
I tried to customize help(), so it starts the compiled html help, and
searches in all packages.

I wrote the following function:

 > my.help
function(topic){
help(topic, package=.packages(all=T), lib.loc=.lib.loc, chmhelp=T)
}

When I use it with

>my.help(help)

give the following error:

Error in help(topic, package = .packages(all = T), lib.loc = .lib.loc,  :
        No documentation for `topic'

I tried also with
> my.help
function(x){
help(x,chmhelp)}

with the same result.
Only doing help(help) is working. Why my function doesn't work?
