Can you, please, be more specific - for example why don't you tell us  
which package you're looking at - that would make it much easier to  
reproduce ...

Also vignettes are accessible via Help -> Vignettes which is much  
better than using vignettes() [which is a function in R, not  
Bioconductor AFAICS].
