I justed wanted to provide a description of how I was able to view source code of a function.
First download the Program R package containing the function. Specifically, download the file that ends in "tar.gz". This is a compressed file. Expand the compressed file using, for example, "WinZip". Next open the uncompressed file that ends in ".tar". I was able to open that file with the free software "7-Zip" available on the internet. After installing that software I clicked on the file "7zFM.exe" and navigated to the directory containing the ".tar" file. You can extract the contents of that ".tar" file into a new folder. The contents consist of R files showing the source code for the functions in the R package. These R files can be opened with a text editor. Hopefully, it is okay to mention other software here by name. I have used the above method twice in the last few months to view source code for functions. In both instances I needed a substantial amount of time to figure out how to do it. This post might help others and perhaps will help myself in the future. Mark W.
