I'm running R version 2.10.0 on a Mac. The "Package Manager" from the GUI does no more display html help files except the Index pages. When copying the links to the browser it shows, that all help files are missing, e.g.

file:///Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.10/Resources/library/base/html/

However, if looking for html help via ? everything works correctly.

This is by design, it's not a bug. The HTML for the help pages is generated at the time you request it, and may contain dynamic content (though there are very few examples of that as yet).

This is by design, it's not a bug.  The HTML for the help pages is generated
at the time you request it, and may contain dynamic content (though there are
very few examples of that as yet).

The bug is that the GUI used a static file instead of the dynamic help. That is now fixed (the same was also true for the Data Manager, both should be now fixed, i.e., use the dynamic help instead).

Thanks, Simon
