[R] R: functions problem

[Berton Gunter]

Two issues are at play here, S3 methods and namespaces. You need to read up
on both. But, in brief, to get an ** exported ** S3 method you need to type:
method.class, e.g. 
>summary.lm
If the method is ** not** exported, you need the ::: operator or look at
?getAnywhere .
