source() does not include added code
I have quantstrat installed and it works fine for me. If you're
asking why the output of t(tradeStats('macross')) isn't being printed,
that's because of what's described in the first paragraph in the
*Details* section of help("source"):
Note that running code via ?source? differs in a few respects from
entering it at the R command line. Since expressions are not
executed at the top level, auto-printing is not done. So you will
need to include explicit ?print? calls for things you want to be
printed (and remember that this includes plotting by ?lattice?,
FAQ Q7.22).
So you need:
print(t(tradeStats('macross')))
if you want the output printed to the console.

I'd appreciate if someone with QuantStrat installed, to try this
and see if they get a different result. My R and RStudio and
QuantStrat libraries are all current.
I get the chart and this much output.
