[R] R CMD Sd2Rd

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Do you not have an editor?

Sd2Rd is designed for rough conversion, especially for Ssgml files, not 
for accurate and complete conversion.  It is purely for convenience.

In this case, prompt() in S-PLUS will never create the file you quote.  We 
don't actually know exactly what the allowed format of Ssgml files is.

We would strongly recommend you to use .Rd files as the master copies if
you are using R tools.
