Ok, thanks. That's starting along a helpful path. The first way sounds dicey on Windows, since some of the packages require tools that I probably have installed (e.g., as part of Cygwin), but have never thought about how to hook together. The second way sounds useful if I want to download the source for all the packages in addition to the binary installers that I already have. Is there any way to do this from the Windows binary .zip files, or from the installations generated thereby? After all, R generates the HTML on the fly somehow, so the information is present; IWBNI there were a way to use that to generate the static HTML. (Looking through the installation dirs doesn't show very many .Rd files.) -- Steve Rowley <s...@alum.mit.edu> http://alum.mit.edu/www/sgr/ ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
