Subject: Incorrect bug report (PR#6731)
In-Reply-To: <20040402172439.2A1D310474@slim.kubism.ku.dk>

What the manual actually says is

    (using Rdindex() from package tools) 

whereas the NEWS file says

    o	R CMD Rdindex has been removed.

which is not the same thing at all.  Rdindex was a script and Rdindex()  
is an R function.

Please do read very carefully the section in the R FAQ about reporting 
BUGS.
