Java should be unrelated to this. One potential issue might be that installing help is an option that you may not have selected when installing R. Another thought is that there may be some anti virus software that is blocking the R help server. ---

Hi Erin, There is no "appropriate directory" until you have a package. Until the package is built, R will not access and use the help documentation. So I guess the answer is, "wherever it is convenient for you to find and edit as your function develops until the time when you put it in one of yo
