[R-SIG-Mac] Help links in R Package Manager window inoperative

[Berend Hasselman]

1. Open a Package Manager window in the R.app GUI (menu Packages & Data, Package Manager)

2. Click on any package listed in the top half of the window to get the documentation overview in the bottom half of the window.

3. Clicking on any item in the Help Pages list does not take you to the requested page. 
(Note. if there is an "overview" link, clicking on the link works. Clicking on a browse "directory" link also doesn't do anything).

(This has been the case since R 2.10.0)
