[R] Using the Search Engine & Keywords

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

1) It uses Java, not just javascript.  You do have Java installed and
enabled?  It does say in several places it is Java-based.

2) I have yet to see a Linux installation of R 1.6.0 where this did not
work out of the box, although ours are all Red Hat.  I understood from the
Mandrake maintainer that the patch I put in for 1.5.1 had re-enabled this
in Mozilla 1.0 on Mandrake.

Um, how can you tell if it doesn't work ...?   There is also help.search()
to do almost the same thing.

It's hard to give instructions to undo something peculiar about a
particular user's OS installation.
