I'm still having difficulty w/ some of the help features.
Specifically on a fresh start of the R GUI selecting "R Help" from the
Help menu opens up a blank help window and gives the following at the
console:

sh: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/share/sh/help-links.sh:
No such file or directory
Making packages.html . done

Also, the "magnifying glass" help files on both the R Console and the
R Help windows do not open the desired help pages, they only bring
focus to the help window.

Thanks for making R on the mac a pleasant experience.
