[R] Using help in Windows version of R with disabled browser [SOLVED]

[cpoirier]

Dear Ranjan,

I'm afraid the command "options(help_type = 'text')" will not work if R is
closed and opened again as the 'help_type' argument is set to 'html' by
default in Windows (same for me).

You should better modify the 'C:/Program Files/R/R-X.XX.X/etc/Rprofile.site'
file with a text editor, as it is entitled: "Things you might want to
change" (and this is the case indeed!)

So move the # character in the following section from:
# set the default help type
# options(help_type="text")
 options(help_type="html")

to:

# set the default help type
 options(help_type="text")
# options(help_type="html")

and the 'help_type' argument is now definitely set to 'text' in Windows.

Hope this helps!
Clement
