I am a novice at R, so I am not totally sure that this is a bug, but I think it
must
be. When I type help.start() or ?help, Netscape starts up, as it should, but it
displays my normal home page, not any help for R. The relevant documents exist
in
/usr/lib/R/doc/html, but Netscape does not seem to know about them when it is
started
from within R. I cannot figure out how to tell Netscape about them.

I simply installed the Debian package from one of the R websites. The file I
used
is r-base_1.0.0-1_i386.deb.
