On unix-alike systems one can do

	R CMD Rd2dvi --no-clean <package name>

and then look in a (hidden) directory .Rd2dvi<nnn> where ``<nnn>''
represents a 3 digit number.

You get a message saying

	" You may want to clean up by 'rm -rf .Rd2dvi<nnn>' "

which tells you the value of ``<nnn>''.  The tex file you want
is called Rd2.tex.

There is probably a similar incantation that works under Windoze.
