"non-visible" functions in return to methods()

You mean something like ?methods, which says:

Value:

     An object of class '"MethodsFunction"', a character vector of
     function names with an '"info"' attribute. There is a 'print'
     method which marks with an asterisk any methods which are not
     visible: such functions can be examined by 'getS3method' or
     'getAnywhere'.

Please point me to the documentation explaining why some of 
the functions 
returned
by calling methods() are marked as "non-visible" and whether 
there is indeed 
no way of
viewing the R code of such functions

thanks

Steve
