[R-SIG-Mac] finding things in R manuals

[Ruth Ripley]

I prefer Adobe reader's directory search. But I don't have the 
up-to-date set of pdf manuals on my computer. I can do an easy global 
search of the html manuals with text wrangler but I then have to read 
html. I am thinking I will have to start building my own R just to get 
the ability to build the manual pdf's.
