Simply send improvements to the code to r-core at stat.math.ethz.ch (list of core developers team). Just to avoid reinvention of the wheel: *) Please make sure that you modify only code from a recent development version of R (a daily snapshot can be obtained from CRAN), because in the meantime we have changed considerably from the stable releases. *) You mentioned that you ``rewrote my HTML help file'' ... maybe this is just a misunderstanding on my side, but the HTML function pages are created automatically from R documentation source files (the *.Rd files in the man directory of each package). Modifications should be made to this files, the HTML files can then be created using $RHOME/etc/Rdconv --html file.Rd JL> I would also be willing to write some missing documentation as well. What exactly do you have in mind (there's so much documentation missing, that there's a wide variaty of fields to choose from ...). Anything would be welcome ... Best,
