[R] bug in R 2.10.1 html help

[Tristan Allouis]

I'm running R 2.10.1 on a GNU/Linux Debian Squeeze (testing)

I type :
 > help.start()

I get :
starting httpd help server ... Terminé.
Si 'xdg-open' est déjà lancé, il ne sera pas relancé, et vous devez
    passer à sa fenêtre.
Sinon, soyez patient...
I think the translation is :

If '/usr/bin/xdg-open' is already running, it is *not* restarted, and
    you must switch to its window.
Otherwise, be patient ...


Iceweasel starts and I get the page 
http://127.0.0.1:28025/doc/html/index.html

Now I type :
 > ?plot

It does not opens the help page in Iceweasel. It starts the R 
documentation in my terminal.

To fix the problem :
Create a .Rprofile file in your home/'user' directory containing the 
following command :
options(help_type="html")

I hope it will help.
