Dear Rita, Do you want a package just for yourself, or something useful for others, with docs, etc? I think the rest of the answers in this thread will help you create a "full fledged" package. See also the detailed explanation in "Writing R extensions".
If you just want something quick and dirty that allows you to use a bunch of functions without using "source" (and thus cluttering your global workspace), is easy to move around, etc, you just need a directory structure such as: SignS2/ SignS2/R/ SignS2/R/SignS2.R SignS2/DESCRIPTION SignS2/Changes (Change SignS2 for the name of your package). This has no documentation whatsoever. You can get rid of the "changes" file, but I put it there to keep track of changes. Run R CMD check against the directory (of coruse, you'll get warnings about missing documentation), and then R CMD build. Best, R.
