I can use help.start(browser = "opera") to get it to use Opera.
Mozilla also works also.

However, I think Murray's question was what has become of the
alphabetical function list?  We get ~/.R/doc/html/index.html

which seems to be the same as

 $R_HOME/doc/index.html 

which is not what it used to be.

I think the browser part is working very well.  It's just that they
aren't directed to what we'd like them to.

I'd be very interested to know how to get that list again.
