IIRC help.start() starts a webbrowser pointing to the html version of the
help pages.  It requires cooperation from your browser and the jurrassic 
netscape provides it, but not all modern browsers do it.  Two remedies:  

a) manually point a browser to the URL  file:/usr/lib/R/doc/html

b) use ESS with Emacs or XEmacs, it really is worth your while (I even use
XEmacs/ESS under NT).  How to get started in explained in other places.
