Hello Martin,
I tried the code snippet provided by you below too.
With emacs version: emacs-21.3 and ess version: ess-5.2.11, I detected
the following differences:
ad 2)
A new buffer opens, as expected, but the cursor remains in the R buffer
and does not switch to the help buffer.
ad 3)
Typing ss has no effect. However, C-n C-n works, by shifting the cursor
position one line down.
ad 4)
Whence the cursor is in the see also section on the line with
summary.lm, h starts a query, but (default summary.lm) does not appear.
Entering summary.lm manually and ENTER opens the desired new help
buffer, however.
Hope this helps a little bit.
Bernhard
Can we first be sure about what happens when:
Here are detailed instructions (please, other "listeners" try them
too!):
1) After starting R (M-x R),
2) inside *R* buffer type
C-c C-v lm <Enter>
you should now be inside a newly created buffer
"*help[R](lm)*
3) Type
ss
= [S]kip to the "[S]ee also" section in the help buffer
C-n C-n
(advance two lines: "the cursor" (the "point" in
Emacs-lingo)
should now be somewhere on the word 'summary.lm')
4) Type
h
(in the minibuffer, you should be prompted with
"Help on: (default summary.lm) "
<Enter>
-> the help page for summary.lm opens in yet
another new buffer.
- Can you tell exactly where the above differs for you?
- Could you also try with a non-alpha version of Emacs, i.e.
Emacs 21.3 or 21.4 ?
Regards,
Martin
