R 2.14.0 -- installed from M Rutter repository today. I don't know why it wraps
sometimes

Thanks. I would not have found that! Hence example lines would be
Depends: pkg1, pkg2, pkg3,

When in directory just above that with optimx package in it:
R CMD Rd2pdf optimx
works quickly and well. Note Rd2pdf not R2pdf (I only noticed just now). I had
misunderstood the Rd2pdf manual about directories. My bad.
