Thanks for that code. I fully agree that the current help system is a step
back. For stable bookmarking, my workaround is to put

options(help.ports=6800)

into the profile,  so I can created links like

http://127.0.0.1:6800/library/gmodels/html/estimable.html

but this still required that I start RGui and the help system once. Thanks
to Duncan Murdoch who implmented this.
