R help - Jul 2009 - R-package question

Dear R-users,

Suppose I want to modify and use internal functions of an R-package as my
requirement. By any way is it possible to explore the internal coding
structure of a package and get a list of internal functions? 

thanks.

The best way is to download the source to the package, which will be on 
CRAN if that's where you got the package.

You can see a deparsed version of the R code just by asking to print the 
functions (possibly prefixed with pkgname::: if they aren't exported), 
but the source is always better.
