ABPkgBuilder does only what the name implies; it makes a package. You 
have to then install the package using R CMD INSTALL (from a command 
prompt) if you then want to be able to do library(myPkg). To go from an 
installed package to an Excel file may take a bit of work, considering 
that you will have several environments containing all your annotation data.
