[R-SIG-Mac] system('man R') works in Mac unix R but not in GUI R

[Joseph Kunkel]

Using  R 2.12.2 GUI 1.36 Leopard build 64-bit (5691)

system('man R') gives error: 'No manual entry for R' ...  ??

Running R in a unix window the system('man R') function provides the expected manual entry.

This complicates my teaching of R with the Gui if I want to use the system('R ...') function.   Students need to know unix-window-use as a prereq.

system('man vi')  however does provide the correct unix vi manual in either unix or GUI.
