[R] How to start default browser on R

[Stephen Liu]

Hi David,

I see.  File: gives the full path to the .html file created/download.  Then the 
browser will open that file.  Thanks.

I don't have hwriter package installed.

A side question, what will be the corresponding command on R for check whether a 
package already installed?

similar to;
On R (Windows)
Packages - Load package

You can use it to open a local file on your machine as well. I use this 
all the time with hwriter which writes html reports.
