Greetings:

 

This should be easy but it isn't.

 

I have a home-brew package that works fine, with compiled html help pages,
all 150 of them.  I want to make a similar package but not from scratch
since only a half-dozen routines are changed.  So I created a new directory,
copied the old package into it and changed the name to newSTUFF.  I changed
the names of all help pages too, as weill as their aliases, and of course I
changed the DESCRIPTION. Then I executed R CMD build --binary newSTUFF.  The
package was built, including the compiled help pages, and automatically
zipped.  I install the package, and then load it and it runs perfectly -
EXCEPT for the "help(newSTUFF)" command, which gives this error message:

No documentation for ' newSTUFF ' in specified packages and libraries:

you could try '?? newSTUFF '

 

But when I look at the contents of the ZIP file that R has made, it says the
newSTUFF compiled help pages are there:

newSTUFF/

newSTUFF/chtml/

newSTUFF/chtml/newSTUFF.chm

 

What's even more puzzling is that the command: help(package=newSTUFF) DOES
work, as it should.  Only help(newSTUFF) doesn't.

 

How did I mess this up?

 

Thanks.
