Dear R-Helpers, I suspect I'm about to ask a FAQ, but I haven't been able to find an answer in the FAQ, AItR or an R Site Search. When I look at the methods of summary (below) it says, "Non-visible functions are asterisked". I looked at the help file for summary.princomp, which did not comment on it being non-visible. I ran its help file example, which printed visible output. I did not notice how it differed from other functions, like summary.data.frame that is not marked non-invisible. What does the non-visible mean?
