Can I do this from within R itself? And if so, how (in particular, what
is the target file to be converted)?


1. Please upgrade R. R-2.10.0 was the first version with a new help 
system, hence there are some corrections made in the meantime.


2. Please read the manual Writing R Extensions.

3. R is case sensitive which is important for the name of the script, 
hence please use R CMD Rdconv. I do not have 2.10.0 installed 
anywhere, but at least since R-2.10.1, Rdconv.sh is a shell script 
rather than a perl script.


Best,
Uwe Ligges
