Please provide a sessionInfo() result to tell us the versions
of R and the various packages you are using.

"exprSet" is the name of a legacy class that is not to be used in
current applications.  There may be software on your system that
generates "exprSet" instances but it should be updated.

"ExpressionSet" is the name of the class that replaces "exprSet".

In the current version of exonmap, xmapGene has a single parameter "x".
So your call with numerous parameters shown above (hard to decipher)
may not be valid.
