[R] no html help upon upgrading to 2.10

[Jim Bouldin]

I just upgraded from 2.8.1 to 2.10 on Windows Vista.  BIG MISTAKE
apparently because now when I type:

> help(functionname)

or
?functionname

I get only a small text window giving some very basic info on the topic, e.g.:

base-package               package:base                R Documentation

The R Base Package

Description:

     Base R functions

Details:

     This package contains the basic functions which let R function as
     a language: arithmetic, input/output, basic programming support,
     etc.  Its contents are available through inheritance from any
     environment.

     For a complete list of functions, use ‘library(help="base")’.


and not the html help screen with full package or function description like
I used to.  Exceedingly problematic, and I can find nothing either in the
FAQs or the R search sites on what to do.   Solutions much appreciated, thanks.
