[R] HOW to provide a CITATION file?

[Spencer Graves]

      "Writing R Extensions" is no longer available via "help.start()", 
at least not in the standard Windows install since R 2.7.2.  If there is 
a way to get it to work again like it used to, I'd like to know.  The 
only way I know to get it is to go to "www.r-project.org" -> Manuals -> 
"Writing R Extensions". 

      From there, if I want to make a local copy, I must avoid the 
obvious File -> "Save Page As", because that gives me HTML.  Instead, 
there is a "Save a copy" button in the upper left of the subwindow 
containing "R-exts.pdf", which I must press to get that particular 
document. 

      Best Wishes,
      Spencer
