Thanks for the info, I'm happy to use the new httpd server that serves the help files - that'd definitely help. My difficulty with this approach is that I'm not sure how to get the URL -
Say for example I've done help.start(), then I do: help(plot) it will redirect my web browser to the plot page - How can I stop it touching my web browser and instead return to me the URL. I tried overriding the browseURL() function, but it seem to do nothing. Ta > > It's much more simple since 2.10 as you can simply use the URL (same URL as > the help system uses).
