By the way, if it's just a DOS vs. UNIX line-ending issue, are the help files stored in such a way that I can simply run them through unix2dos (or vice-versa), or possibly use the unix tr command to perform some other kind of conversion? __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

You'll need to talk to the Cygwin folks if you can't reproduce this in one of our releases available from cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base.

[R] "R" help leaves out lines of text
I am ramping up on the R statistical analysis environment. I find that the help leaves out entire lines of text. The pager is /usr/lib/R/bin/pager. I changed it to /bin/less, but I see the same symptom. The problem shows up both in xterm and mintty. The computer is in a locked down environment, so a straight update of cygwin packages is not an option. Is there anything further I can try to circumvent the problem? My version info is: 64-bit Cygwin DLL version 1.7.28 R version 3.0.1-1 __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
