Thanks for this, too. Btw, is there a way to start the dynamic Rhelp server in the background without manually launching RGui? That, combined with Dieter's suggestion, would bring the help system sort of back to its original state. 

I am sorry to say that the new dynamic help is a HUGE nuisance to me. Had to revert back to R 2.9 because of that :-(.
