Hi,
Each > help.start() generates a new tree of the R help system, somewhere
in 127.0.0.1:xxx, each xxx being difeerent. This tree disappears when
exiting R. How can the current help tree copied to a permanent place for
reference outside a running R? This would be practical for not having to
enter M-x R .
Michael explains why you can't do this.
You can choose the xxx value consistently rather than randomly if you
want; see ?tools::startDynamicHelp. So you could have an R instance
running in the background and serving whatever help you wanted, and use
a consistent URL to access it.
