[R] two questions - function help and 32vs64 bit sessions

[Fowler, Mark]

Hi Jim,
Lost the address (Tuesday night is a major system scan for DFO, messes
everybody up). Tried your suggestion, no luck. Also tried shutting down
all Explorer browsers, still no luck. Maybe something related to
configuration or environment differs between our systems.

Hi Mark,
I simply shut down the help browser. It will restart with a new IP
address.
