[R-SIG-Mac] Back and Forward buttons greyed out in R Package Manager

[Steven McKinney]

For anyone else facing this issue,
I see that <Ctrl>-mouseclick
in the help documentation lower pane
raises a pop-up menu with back
and forward menu items, so one can
navigate via that mechanism until the
upper '<Back' and 'Forward>' buttons
are activated.

When I am using the lower pane of the R.app Package Manager
window to view help, the browser <Back and
Forward> buttons are always greyed out.  Should
these buttons work like the back and forward buttons
in the R.app Help window, allowing navigation
backwards and forwards through the help topics selected
via hyperlink selections?
