[BioC] help with KEGG or KEGGSOAP

[ALAN SMITH]

Hello,
I would like to access the KEGG database from R and a create list of
compound IDs from neutral masses. Does anyone know if this is possible
in R and if so how one could perform it in R.  I also am not able to
get the examples to work in KEGGSOAP. The error is this examples
occurs in the other expampes

Currently, I have to query KEGG by hand and is taking considerable
time.  Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!
