Dear Christine,

would you be so kind and give a more precise example of what you would
like to achieve? 
The examples in the above mentioned functions are replications of the
results in:

Johansen, S. and Juselius, K. (1990), Maximum Likelihood
     Estimation and Inference on Cointegration - with Applications to
     the Demand for Money, _Oxford Bulletin of Economics and
     Statistics_, *52, 2*, 169-210.

There is no function cajo.test() contained in the package urca. Have you
meant ablrtest() instead? If so, have a look at the example and the
above given reference as well as:

Johansen, S. (1991), Estimation and Hypothesis Testing of
     Cointegration Vectors in Gaussian Vector Autoregressive Models,
     _Econometrica_, *Vol. 59, No. 6*, 1551-1580.

Best,
Bernhard
