Yes, I should have suggested that option as well. It's probably the quickest
way if you just want the code for one or a few functions. But if you want
the code for most or all functions in a package (including ones for which
you might not know the name off the top of your head) is there some way of
sending the code for all functions in particular package to a ".r" file from
the command line with one or two lines of code?
