[R] Help in web browser

[Chintanu]

Hi,

I have recently updated to R 2.10.1 in my windows system. Since then,
whenever I look for help (e.g., by using ? "Function" command), the
information is displayed by opening a web-browser. However, I rather would
prefer to have the information in the usual pop-up style. Is there a way to
set/do it ?? Please inform.

Thank you.

Set options(help_type="text") for the plain text popups. (This was an
installation option; you could reinstall R to set it in your profile, or
edit it into RHOME/etc/Rprofile.site yourself.)
