This went to R-help;
it should have gone to ESS-help instead
--> hence I forward this. Martin Maechler

Subject: [R] Xemacs do not want to execute help.start() with R1.9.1

Hi all,
I 've just reinstalled from the scratch my Windows 2000 (Italian version)
on a formatted HD, because I like to clean
the environment from time to time (say once a year).
I'm currently using XEmacs-21.4.13 and R (rw1091)
and Xemacs is configured as described in
http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/ESS/ess-xemacs.pdf
The problem is that the command
help.start()
added in the c\Program Files\R\rw1091\etc\Rprofile
do not work and I receive from Xemacs at the startup the following two
lines:
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Error: couldn't find function "help.start"
> options(STERM='iESS', editor='winclient.exe'> >
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
If I type
help.start()
in the upper as well as in the lower window,
the HTML help start in a new window.
This happened also before the reinstallation of the whole OS,
but it did not happened when I was running a previous R version (1.7.??)
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time.
