[R] Cannot activate chm help in R 2.10

I realize now that the dynamic help is no longer implemented via chm
apparently. But nevertheless, the intention is certainly to be able to call
help WITH links from within R? What can I do to make that work instead of
the pure text files I get at the moment ? Could a proxy be in the way ?

I think that the new help system is a great step forward (if I can get it
going with links). 

Thanks for any help,
Regards, Ulrike
