I assume you are using S-Plus 6 for Unix. We don't have a totally
satisfactory response yet. Here are several that are recommended
by Insightful.

>This dumps the whole formatted help file into your buffer and you can

> Here's a variation on that:
> options(help.pager = "slynx -dump -nolist")
> This prevents the non-working links from being shown.
> Another workaround (if you have an X server running) is to use
> help(lm, window=T)
> That puts up an xterm window running slynx to view the help file.
