R help - Oct 2006 - write a help file for my own function

Hi,

I am wondering how I can write a help page for my own function so when
I type ?myOwnfunc, then the help page will show up?

thanks.

There is an entire manual devoted to 'extending R', which includes
sections
on writing manual pages.  

The key insight here is that you do want to create a package.

Note the R command, prompt, which will generate an outline of the help page for
you.  Also you might want to look through the existing help files for
many examples.
