Dear all,

I had realized that they were internal functions.

However, I was conjecturing that the maintainer intends for them to be employed 
by package users and that use of the ':::' operator might be acceptable in 
these circumstances. 

It appears not and I have modified my package to remove all occurrences of 
':::'.

Thanks to all for your comments,

  Chris

And of course, you can even tell the Rd file that it documents an internal 
function.
