It may be better to use the canonical url, https://cran.r-project.org/package=bssm, as in:

https://cran.r-project.org/package=bssm/bssm.pdf

By the way, the vignettes for an installed package can be found by

vignette(package="bssm")

or

help(package="bssm", help_type = "html")

The latter has the advantage that it present links in a browser even if by default the help is presented in text mode.

Hi, Jeff:


       That's what I needed.  I clicked on the vignette I wanted and got 
the following:


https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bssm/vignettes/bssm.pdf


       Thanks,
