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".
