[R] IE5 and the html help function

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Is it html help or the search in html help (as you mention java)?

If the latter, please read the instructions and follow the link on the
html search page (and if you can't see it, you are not using the current
R).  It is likely you don't have a JVM installed (since I suppose this is 
Windows and not MacOS on which you have `IE5').

If the former, then try setting your file associations again, or even 
installing another browser (Firefox is highly recommended).
