[R] help.start( )

[partha_bagchi@hgsi.com]

I think the Mozilla plugin site explicitly says that you cannot copy the 
Java plugin into the Mozilla plugin directory. You have to make a symbolic 
link to it in the plugin directory. Please try that.

help.start( ) does not work.  I downloaded Sun Java j2re1.4.2, installed 
that and re-installed R-1.7.1 from scratch.  I tried help.start( ) again 
and the browser (Mozilla 1.2.1) crashed.

It doesn't help much, but it works fine on my SuSE 8.2 box, using
R-1.7.1 (patched) and Mozlla 1.2.1.  I've also used Konqueror (the KDE
browser/file manager) using help.start(browser="konqueror").  Have you
tried that (or Galleon, or Opera, or ...)?
