Thanks, and sorry for hijacking. I tried it once and gave up later because I do not want hard-coded files (may be good or bad, though). My point is that both CRAN and the package documentation are restricted to Sweave for automatic generation of the vignette list. I was hoping that vigettes could be like demos, which are listed in demo/00Index by package authors and will show up in demo(package = xxx). I apologize if this is irrelavent to your question.
