Good point. We're intentionally overriding the "browser" option in the R.app GUI because help pages are treated differently from other "regular" browseURL calls. However, it may make sense to allow a user override. I'll look into this. You will, however, lose the built-in help feature so I would not recommend it as the default.

Thanks,
