Hi all,

I am looking for a function that receives some text (any text) and

displays

it to the user in the same way as the 'help' function does. Unlike 'cat',
that outputs the text in the current window, the one I'm looking for

should

work as 'help' that, for example, in emacs ess opens a new buffer, in the
linux terminar displays it as the more command, etc. Is there any

function

that does this?

The file.show() function will display a text file without all the bells
and whistles of the help system; maybe it will be good enough.
