Peter,

On my system (SnowLeopard, below R builds) I did see the warning  
messages (but the internal help worked fine).

This morning I changed the htmlhelp settings as suggested by the  
warning message ( help_type ='html' ) in main.m and rebuild R.app. The  
warnings are gone and help still works.
