R help - Dec 2010 - Trying to extract an algorithm from a function

Hi, I'm using package "vars" and I'm trying to extract the
algorithm that
function "predict" contained in that package in order to understand
how does
it work.

When I type function "VAR" then all its algorithm appears in R,
however if I
try to do the same with "predict" nothing happens...Is there any
possible
way to extract the algorithm?

Thanks a lot.

Regards

With the package loaded do this to an object to which you are  
submitting to predict
class(object)

Then do"

methods(predict)

If your <class>.predict function has a "*" by it then do this:

getAnywhere(<class>.predict)

And if you are using a package that uses S4 methods, good luck.
