[Rd] "show" problem with R 1.7 devel

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

Frank,

That's a rather old version of R-devel: a lot has changed since, including 
`show'.  At present print will be used, but that might change before 
release.

You should be able to fix this immediately by changing
options(defaultPackages) in the system profile to omit "methods", but you 
would be better off with a more recent snapshot.
