Hello: 

      What might be the problem generating messages like "Warning: 
missing text for item ... in \describe" with "R CMD check" and "R CMD 
install"? 

      With the current version of "fda" on R-Forge, I get the following: 


Warning: missing text for item 'fd' in \describe
Warning: missing text for item 'fdPar' in \describe


      I found a where someone else asked about essentially this warning 
message, but I didn't find a reply.  I also found that 
"https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/share/perl/R/Rdconv.pm" is coded to 
issue such messages.  However, I still don't know what I'm doing to 
generate it. 

      Thanks in advance for any suggestions. 

      Best Wishes,
      Spencer
