Few things to try: - do you see anything in the error console?
- remove (rename) any and all customization files like ~/.Rprofle ~/.RData etc. - try running R from the console and starting the html help by hand to see if it works at all: tools::startDynamicHelp() help.start(browser="/usr/bin/open") - if that works try the same from the R.app gui *before* using help: help.start(browser="/usr/bin/open") Cheers, Simon > On Oct 16, 2018, at 7:11 PM, zListserv <zlists...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I recently migrated to a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) using the Migration > Assistant.
