+#'A wrapper for \link{read.table}. Reads a table from text or from the clipboard and creates a data.frame from it.
+#'
+#'For many questions at Stack Overflow, the question asker does not properly
+#'share their question (for example, using \code{\link{dput}} or by sharing
+#'some commands to make up the data). Most of the time, you can just copy and
+#'paste the text into R using \code{read.table(text = "clipboard", header =
+#'TRUE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)}.  This function is basically a convenience
+#'function for the above.
+#'
+#'The output of \code{\link{readSO}} is automatically assigned to an object in
+#'your workspace called "\code{mydf}" unless specified using the \code{out}
+#'argument.
 #'
 #' @param sep character. Determines the field separator character passed to \code{read.table}.
 #' @param header logical. Determines whether the first row consists of names of variables.
 #' @param stringsAsFactors logical. Whether strings are converted to factors or remain character variables.
+#' @param out character. Desired output object name. Defaults to \code{"mydf"}.
 #' @return A data.frame as \code{read.table} produces.
 #' @note By default, stringsAsFactors is FALSE which is different to the R default.
