help.start() has a faulty link

Hello,

With 'help.start()' an HTML browser interface to help pops up.
In the section 'Miscellaneous Material' if you click on 'User Manuals'
an error occurs:

Error in vignettes[i, "PDF"] : subscript out of bounds

Is this a bug? A missing link?

We have very little idea: you have not told us the 'at a minumum' 
information required in the posting guide.

But it works for me in R 3.1.1: most likely there is a bug in the way 
you installed R (whatever that was ...).  For example, maybe you did not 
install the vignette PDFs ....

Hello,

Sorry, I forgot to include sessionInfo. It's R 3.1.1 on Windows 7.
As for the vignette PDFs, you're right, they are missing. I always use 
the default installation of the R for Windows binary file, shouldn't 
they also be installed?
