[Rd] R CMD check returns NOTE about package data set as global variable

[Brad McNeney]

OK, thanks for the tip on good coding practice. I'm still getting the NOTE though when I make the suggested change.

In case it matters, I'm check'ing with

R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30)
Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit)
