I think that should have been

help.start()

Yes, thanks.  What I need is a Thunderbird plug-in that understands R code.

Hi, Duncan:


        I'm confused:


help_start()
Error: could not find function "help_start"


        Thanks,

Newbie here...just learning

Do most packages come with pdf versions of the help files
? If yes,
how to I access the entire pdf file to be able to print it
? Is there
a standard command for that ?

No, the pdf version is not normally installed.  If you want
to see the
same content on a locally installed package, run

help_start()

then browse to the package.  The pdf files are just concatenated
versions of all the help pages shown in that index.

You can produce the pdf using

R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo

where foo is a directory holding the source code to the package.
Alternatively, as others have suggested, just look at the
PDF on CRAN.
