Hi all,
Sorry if I seem a bit pissed because I am!
I'd recommend calming down, and explaining the problem clearly. You
tell us about the research you did, but you don't say:
1. What exactly did you do?
2. What was the result?
Without those two bits of information, it's hard to give any advice
other than to follow the instructions in the manual, not the ones you
find on the Internet. There are lots of pages with incorrect or
obsolete information on the Internet, but we do try to keep the manuals
up to date.

Basically, I have written some script and I wanted to make a "documentation"
for it using .Rd format.

I followed the example here in
http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/prompt.html
created the file plot.default.rd in my directory. But then there is the
problem.
Almost EVERYWHERE on the internet it says use
R CMD Rd2pdf [options] files
[[elided Hotmail spam]]
I have been spending 2 hours search on internet by I still CAN'T get it to
work!
I HAVE READ the PDF file "Writing R Extensions".
On page 72, section "2.15 Processing Rd format", which is short and USELESS!
Last paragraph says:
tools to build
# packages from source as described in the “R Installation and
Administration” manual,
# although typically all that is needed is a LATEX installation.
I have to admit that I did not read ALL pages of the “R Installation and
Administration” manual. But I really wanted the EXAMPLES to be helpful and
STRAIGHTFORWARD or more DIRECT, which section I should read in “R
Installation and Administration”? What exactly should be done in Windows?

Now back to my question, HOW exactly can I have a PDF file from
"plot.default.rd"?
MiKTeX Portable; Adobe Acrobat; NpptoR installed.
Thanks!
