VB: [R] Problem with 'link.html.help()'

[Lina Lundgren]

To Brian Ripley,
Thanks!
Yes indeed, It functions if you hit return at the prompt 1:
but this had to be done for five times!
Later five packages were found named NA with the description NA NA but all the rest of the 'libraries'
are there in proper order with names and descriptions.

Thanks to Brian Ripley

Fredrik Lundgren
