R help - Jan 2004 - Please help with \usage{} for [.S3Class in Rd-Format

Dear all,

I try to submit a library to CRAN but can't overcome the last R CMD CHECK. 

Can someone enlighten me how to put the \usage{} section for an S3-Method
extractor defined as
> args(get("[.refdata"))
function (x, i = NULL, j = NULL, drop = FALSE, ref = FALSE) 
NULL

I read the "Writing R Extensions" manual and know about
\methods{generic}{class}, however I don't get it right. 

Please help


Jens

I think you may be trying too hard.  Look at Extract.data.frame.Rd and 
Extract.factor.Rd.  I would just have an Extract.refdata.Rd.

You only need the  \methods{generic}{class} notation when you want to 
document a generic and a method, or more than one method, in the same help 
file.  And at present the Perl conversion does not cope with regexp 
characters in function names ....
