Hi All, I ma running R under windows with xemacs and ESS. The Rprofile.site options, somehow gets overridden by xemacs and my options in Rprofile.site are not taken into account while they are when I use Rgui. How can I specify my options if I am using xemacs? and what configuration file xemacs+ess use for R. Thanks AA

But it has nothing to do with the GUI preferences: it applies to the command-line version of R as well. What about ?help did you not understand? It says chmhelp = getOption("chmhelp"), ... chmhelp: logical (or 'NULL'). Only relevant under Windows. If 'TRUE' the Compiled HTML version of the help on the topic will be shown in a help viewer. so you need to set options(chmhelp=FALSE): it is up to you where you set it. -- Brian D.
