The traditional way to handle something like this is to develop 
your own package for R, possibly even consisting of this one example 
with your documentation using the standard R documentation protocol.  
Instructions for how to do this are contained in the "Writing R 
Extensions" manual, which is the upper right option from help.start(). 

      An alternative would be to add that to the R Wiki. 

      Hope this helps.
