Hi!

Columns in demo/00Index must be separated with at least 3 spaces otherwise
the following WARNING is issued during R CMD check

...
* checking index information ... WARNING
Demos with missing or empty index information:
[1] "foo"
...

After a search I found out that this is noted in file

src/library/tools/R/read.00Index.R

I suggest to update the manual in the following way.

Regards, Gregor
