[R] Html Help on MacOSX/XFree

[Marco.Saerens@smals-mvm.be]

Dear R users,

I installed R 1.4.0 on MacOSX 10.1 with fink (I run it through XFree on
command-line).

I have two short questions regarding R on MacOSX.
                                                                            
 (1) The default help browser is netscape. I do not have Netscape; instead  
 I have internet explorer. If I type help.start(browser="Internet           
 Explorer"), it does not work because of the spaces, and maybe because the  
 path to Internet Explorer directory is not defined. Is there an easy       
 answer to this problem ? On the other and, I run my programs through       
 XFree, and I am not sure that it is possible to run Netscape or Internet   
 Explorer from XFree.                                                       
                                                                            
 (2) If I want to plot graphics, I have to run R from Xfree (XDarwin); I    
 cannot run it from the MacOSX Xterm. Is that right ?                       
                                                                            
 Could you please send the answers at "marco.saerens at smals-mvm.be".         
                                                                            
                                                                            


Thank you very much in advance !
