I got it working by typing a string in getdfv.Rd after \title{

\title{ getdf
%%  ~~function to do ... ~~
}

Strange why the skeleton would not do that given it did 
\name{getdfv}
\alias{getdfv}

Anyway, I'm happy now.

Then you have to delete the Rd file that has been generated by 
package.skeleton.
Please read the manuals "Writing R Extensions" and "R Installation and 
Administration".
