[R-SIG-Mac]help.start() in Darwin/X11

[Jan de Leeuw]

One simple way to get html help in R when you are running in rootless
mode, and you have your preferred aqua browser open, is to make a script

#!/bin/tcsh
open "/usr/local/lib/R/doc/html/index.html"

call it "netscape", make it executable, and put it in your path. In both
rooted and rootles mode you can use a script such as

#!/bin/tcsh
dillo /usr/local/lib/R/doc/html/index.html >& /dev/null &

if you have installed an X11 browser foo such as dillo or mozilla or 
amaya. Again
call the script netscape (or change the default browser name in R).
