Some user reported me that help.start() is no longer working on Panther 
under RAqua.
I don't have this problem on my machine but a couple of users repoterd 
me this.

Can you please make this small test an eventually tell me which is your 
system default browser?

I have a /usr/local/bin/netscape script with

#!/bin/sh
open /usr/local/lib/R/doc/html/index.html

which means help.start() starts Safari.

The problem is again the libiconv library.

 From the console of the users reporting errors:

dyld: /usr/bin/open version mismatch for library:
/usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version of user: 5.0.0
greater than library's version: 4.0.0)

On 11 Nov 2003, Jan de Leeuw uttered the following:
I set my browser to "open", i.e., put 'options ("browser" = "open")' in
~/.Rprofile.  help.start () works fine from both the console and RAqua.
(My default browser is Mozilla Firebird 0.71).
