We all were ;)

The command is now outputting everything in the Usage block that is  
in a verbatim environment, which I think should indeed be everything.  
This seems to take care of at least the two examples you mentioned,  
and makes its output similar to the HTML one.

However, this command should probably follow a similar process as the  
"Show in R Help" command to find what it should show. Right now it  
looks for a tex file named after the command, which I think it  
perhaps far from ideal. But that requires more work....
