[Rd] [BUG?] utils::prompt(name=f)

[R. Michael Weylandt]

Just for the record, I don't see that error with 2.15.0 or with
R-Devel 60040-someodd. Both display

> foo <- function(x) cat(x, "\n")
> prompt(name = "foo")
Created file named ‘foo.Rd’.
Edit the file and move it to the appropriate directory.

Best,
Michael
