        ...: one or more character vectors containing the names
             of the files to be displayed.

     header: vector (of the same length as the number of files
             specified in `...') giving a header for each file
             being displayed. Defaults to empty strings.

      title: an overall title for the display.  If a separate
             window is used for the display, `title' will be
             used as the window title.

   delete.file: should the files be deleted after display? Used
             for temporary files.

      pager: the pager to be used.

        This function provides the core of the R help system,
        but it can be used for other purposes as well.

   NNoottee::

        How the pager is implemented is system dependent. At
        present the Unix version concatentates files and dis-
        plays them in the pager set by the `pager' option set-
        ting. 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.
