[R] html help for packages with MS Windows

[Jim Lindsey]

In the past few days, I have been helping people from Ethiopia and
from Kenya to get started with R. We have discovered that properly
installed libraries (survival5 or mine) work and the online (with ?)
help is available but they do not appear in the html help (under
packages) with MS Windows. Only the libraries supplied with R appear
there. This is not true with netscape under (Linux) X-Windows where
all installed libraries are listed.
  We have used the standard installer that comes with R0.65.1. What
are we doing wrong?

PS It would be nice if the installer knew exactly where to put
libraries within an R tree instead of having to specify the library
directory.
  Also, the library/package dichotomy is extremely confusing for a new
user. (I refuse to use the term, package, myself.) If the package
terminology is to be retained, then they should be loaded with package().
