One of my colleagues found that if one type something like
?plot
in a [ESS[R]] buffer and c-c c-n that to the *R* buffer, one gets the
following within the *R* buffer:
plot package:graphics R Documentation
_G_e_n_e_r_i_c _X-_Y _P_l_o_t_t_i_n_g
_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:
Generic function for plotting of R objects. For more details
about the graphical parameter arguments, see 'par'.
_U_s_a_g_e:
plot(x, y, ...)
_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:
[...]
Arguably, that shoudn't be done, but it would be nice if it works as if the
help request was typed in the *R* buffer.
[This is with ESS 5.2.2 and 5.2.3, R-1.9.1, on WinXPPro with XEmacs 21.4.6
and 21.4.13.]
Best,
Andy
