I guess you have FUN1 in your Workspace and using that rather than the one in your package. Uwe Ligges

I suggest you spend two minutes with package.skeleton(), create an empty
package, put something like these two functions in
multiply <- function(x, k) x * k
timestwo <- function(x) multiply(x, 2)
to convince yourself that timestwo() can in fact use multiply().
