Subject: help on R primitives
Message-ID: <Pine.OSF.3.95.980605113348.26754A-100000@io.uwinnipeg.ca>

Not sure if primitives is the right word, but look at this:

> help(for)
Error: syntax error
> ?for
+ 
[hit ctrl-c to get out at this pt]

Either way I try I can't get help on for. Can the help mechanism be
modified so it is possible to get help on these guys?  Another example:
> help(if)
Error: syntax error

But ?(ifelse) works.

I am using version .62, release from April or so.

Bill
