turning of html help

Hi I've just upgraded my version of R. I'm used to having the help pages turn up on a simple text window, and not html. Now it seems that when I call a help page it starts up a browser, and says it can't find the manual page(probably since I didn't install html help). I guess there is some option somewhere that turns of html help and goes back to the simple version. What is this, and how do I permanently enable it? I promise I did look around on the web for this but couldn't find the answer.
See ?options on how to enable / disable help systems and ?Startup on how to do it each time on startup. Uwe Ligges
Thanks Simon Bond

Hi Simon, the help-pages for ?options don't list the properties chmhelp and htmlhelp if I remember correctly. But these are the two options you should set to FALSE if you don't want HTML-Help (nor CHM-based help on Windows). options(htmlhelp=FALSE) options(chmhelp=FALSE) Regards, Jannis

Thanks for pointing this out. They are mentioned in the man page for help (i.e. ?help shows them), but not in ?options. Duncan Murdoch But these are the two options you
