    Hi,
    
    I wanted R to open any Help page in html permanently.
    
    So 1st I created .Rprofile file with below code in terminal:
    
    touch ~/.Rprofile
    
    open -a Textedit ~/.Rprofile
    
    
    And then in the .Rprofile file, I wrote below code :
    
    options(help_type = ?html?)
    
    However after that when I start R (from Terminal) I get below error on loading R
    
    Error: 1:20: unexpected input
    
    1: options(help_type = ?
    
                           ^
