Description
This function provides the core of the R help system,
but it can be used for other purposes as well.Note
How the pager is implemented is system dependent. At present
the Unix version concatentates files and displays them in the pager
set by the pager option setting. However, a GUI model might
be to put up a file in a separate
window and let the user leave it up while R continues running.Author(s)
