Subject: [Rd] Question about .Rd syntax
Message-ID: <42A91842.9090509@sciviews.org>

Hello all,

In one of my packages, I have the following warning with R-devel, but no 
problems with R 2.1.0, or R patched:

** checking Rd \usage sections ... WARNING
Bad \usage lines found in documentation object 'guiStart':
   guiStart(gui = "\"

Functions with \usage entries need to have the appropriate \alias entries,
and all their arguments documented.
The \usage entries must correspond to syntactically valid R code.
See chapter 'Writing R documentation files' in manual 'Writing R
Extensions'.

my function is:

"guiStart" <-
function(gui = "\"%SciViews_Home%/bin/RConsole.exe\" -connect") {
    ....
}

and the way it is defined in \usage:
\usage{
   guiStart(gui = "\"%SciViews_Home%/bin/RConsole.exe\" -connect")
}

I am pretty sure it is a stupid error I made regarding \", or something 
similar. Could someone tell me what that stupid error really is?
Thanks.

Philippe
