[R] Help in building new function

[Gabor Grothendieck]

1. Just enter
  arima
at the R console to see its source code (without comments).  The source
tar.gz for R is found by googling for R, clicking on CRAN in left column
and choosing mirror.  Or to view it online or get it via svn:
  https://svn.r-project.org/R/

2. You want myarima's free variables to be found in the stats package so
set the environment of myarima like this:

environment(myarima) <- asNamespace("stats")
