In the latest R 2.8 alpha for Win32, if either of the commands are typed:
help("erfc")
.. or ..
?erfc
the result is:
No documentation for 'erfc' in specified packages and libraries:
you could try '??erfc'

This should be: 'help.search("erfc")', as shown in R 2.7.2

Why do you think so?  From the NEWS

    o   ??topic now does help.search("topic"); variations such as
        ??pkg::topic or field??topic are also supported.

Apologies if this has already been submitted/fixed.

Please ask on R-devel about unreleased versions of R: from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rtest.html

  'Please don't report bugs in this version through the usual R bug
  reporting system, please report them on the r-devel mailing list.'
