为什么使用R的帮助打开的是网页还不是小窗口？？求解释

R不同版本的帮助文件不一样，2.10.0及之前的版本，Help弹出一个小窗口；以后的版本则都会弹出网页。这个倒没有什么不方便，要命的是很多时候在没有载入这个函数的package的情况下，help某个函数，结果显示：找不到，这样使得R的魅力大打折扣。有没有人知道怎么完美使用R的帮助？

For your second problem, the reason is R help providing 3 types of documents, "text", "html" and "pdf", in your case, I think the default setting is "html", that's why it always goes to the default explorer to open it.

The solution is simple and permanently:
1. Locate the Rprofile.site file, It should be in C:\Program Files\R\R-<version>\etc\Rprofile.site (on
Windows). # Here you can change the default options and you don't need to fix it every time.
2. Open the Rprofile.site file on text editor #notepad
3. Find the lines as follows, and in your case, it should looks like

# set the default help type
# options(help_type="text")
options(help_type="html")     

and now comment out html and un-comment text, like

# set the default help type
options(help_type="text")
# options(help_type="html")     

4. problem should be solved.

My final recommendation is Rstudio, the new free IDE for R users.
