Hola! A problem I have had for some versions now: When using R html help, different browsers are started on different machines. On one machine, it starts the opera browser, where html search not functions.
(Should do if Java support is installed: did when I tested.)
I´ll try again
On my home
machine (with a new version of win98), it insists on starting M$ internet explorer, even though netscape is defined as default (when cliking on the relevant help files in "explorador de windows", netscape opens).
On that macvhine, the file associations is set to netscape, and all other ways to open a browser opens netscape, but R insists on opening M$ internet explorer.
R knows absolutely nothing about this `M$ internet explorer'. It calls the Windows API call ShellExecute(). Looks like your machine has a corrupt Registry. As I said before, R calls the official Windows API call and what happens then is not our responsibility.
