I get an error when I try to use \S4method in a usage section in an Rd 
file for a function. I tried to duplicate exactly how stats4 documents its 
method functions, but I must be missing something. Here is the top part of 
the Rd file:

\name{xyPlot-methods}
\docType{methods}
\alias{xyPlot-methods}
\alias{xyPlot,numeric,numeric-method}
\title{Methods for Function \code{xyPlot}}
\description{
Create a line or scatter plot.
}
\usage{
\S4method{xyPlot}{numeric, numeric}(x, y, 
Plot = list(name = "", what = "lines", type = "solid", width = "standard", 

 symbol = "circle", filled = TRUE, size = 0.09, color = "black"), 
yaxis.log = FALSE, yaxis.rev = FALSE, yaxis.range = c(NA, NA), 
xaxis.log = FALSE, xaxis.range = c(NA, NA), ylabels = 7, xlabels = 7, 
xtitle = deparse(substitute(x)), ytitle = deparse(substitute(y)), 
caption = "", margin = c(NA, NA, NA, NA))
}

  The error I get is 

Bad \usage lines found in documentation object 'xyPlot-methods':
  <unescaped bksl>S4method{xyPlot}{numeric, numeric}(x, y,
  Plot = list(name = "", what = "lines", type = "solid", width = 
"standard",
   symbol = "circle", filled = TRUE, size = 0.09, color = "black"),
  yaxis.log = FALSE, yaxis.rev = FALSE, yaxis.range = c(NA, NA),
  xaxis.log = FALSE, xaxis.range = c(NA, NA), ylabels = 7, xlabels = 7,
  xtitle = deparse(substitute(x)), ytitle = deparse(substitute(y)),
  caption = "", margin = c(NA, NA, NA, NA))

  Here's my R info:

R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) -- "Roasted Marshmallows"
Copyright (C) 2012 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
ISBN 3-900051-07-0
Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

  The error is treated as a WARNING, so I can build and install the 
package and the documentation file looks fine when I ask for help on 
xyPlot-methods. What am I missing?
  Thanks.
Dave
