[R] HOW to provide a CITATION file?

[Henrik Bengtsson]

Are you referring to the update that you now reach 'R: Search
Engine'(*) when you call help.start() whereas before you got to the
'Statistical Data Analysis' main menu from where 'Writing R
Extensions' is available (in HTML format)?   You can reach the latter
from the former by clicking on the up-arrow icon.  [Suggestion to
R-core: Maybe clicking on the R-logo could also bring you to the main
menu.].

(*) At least with R v2.8.0 and Firefox 3.0
