Hi-I have tried that offline, -my browser opens and says: "Offline mode
Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the Web.
Uncheck "Work Offline" in the File menu, then try again"


Well, go "online" with Firefox which means firefox can access the R help pages afterwards. You do not need to go really online with your machine.

I can access ?help that way, or pages I've been to before having gone offline, 
but nothing new.

Hi all

Apologies if this is a trivial question- I have searched the lists and the 
online help files etc but have not managed to find anything. I recently 
downloaded the latest version of R, which has the help type set to htmlhelp as 
default (according to http://127.0.0.1:18380/library/utils/html/help.html)

I would very much like to be able to access the help files when I am offline by 
typing ?topic etc as I used to with the previous R version. Any suggestions?


Yes, just type ?topic and your web brwoser opens and displays the help
file. Note that the address beginning "http://127.0.0.1"; is on your
local machine, hence you can stay offline.

Thanks
