pdf package help files
Hi, Duncan:
I'm confused:
help_start()
Error: could not find function "help_start"
Thanks,
Spencer

Newbie here...just learning Do most packages come with pdf versions of the help files ? If yes, how to I access the entire pdf file to be able to print it ? Is there a standard command for that ?
No, the pdf version is not normally installed. If you want to see the same content on a locally installed package, run help_start() then browse to the package. The pdf files are just concatenated versions of all the help pages shown in that index. You can produce the pdf using R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo where foo is a directory holding the source code to the package. Alternatively, as others have suggested, just look at the PDF on CRAN.
