It's not quite the answer you're looking for, but... I run R on my Linux box, which also runs Apache (www.apache.org). I've set up the html documentation in the publicly available docs (visible to apache), and set up htdig as my search engine (www.htdig.org). I just type in the subject, and get links to the (very good) html documentation. This has served my purposes *very* well, and I'd recommend it any day. htdig can be quite flexible about where it searches, and you could re-direct it to the CRAN site. I'm on a slow modem, so I haven't done this. I do this with any html documentation I get, and it's a good way to find other software that does the job you want in software you mightn't have thought of. Hope that helps Jason
