On 26 Nov Jan pointed out that the R help.start search engine would work under Mozilla, but not netscape or MSIE. I've got Mozilla up and running and have the script Jan suggested in /usr/local/bin/netscape. All works fine if I do "sh netscape" from a terminal window, however from within R I get the first page of the help file, but when I try to go the the search engine, Mozilla crashes. Any ideas? Note that I also had to set options(browser="/usr/local/bin/netscape") within R, perhaps because MSIE is my default browser.
