[R] subset of documentation for a given recommended package

[Prof Brian Ripley]

First, neither ts nor stats are/were *recommended* packages, as their 
DESCRIPTION files makes clear.

Second, package ts is now empty, so your question makes no sense.  Nor I
think did it before, as the time series functionality was never entirely
in package ts, and at least now it is entirely in stats.

You can easily select help files with keyword `ts' and use Rd2dvi on them
to produce a printable manual.
