[R] Probing a function

Colleagues,

I just took advantage of the function:
	readWindowsShortcut
in R.utils.  It accomplished my goals and I was interested in learning its inner workings.  So, I typed the function at the command line (without arguments or parentheses).  R returned:

	function (...) 
	UseMethod("readWindowsShortcut") 
	<environment: namespace:R.utils> 

providing no insight to me as to the commands in the function.

So, how do I (or, can I) access the code in that function?

Thanks in advance

Dennis
