Hello all,

I have,say 4 R objects...  bar1, bar2, bar3, bar4.. that I'd like to include
in an R package "foobar".

The desired functionality would be:

> library(foobar)
> data(foo)
> ls()
[1] "bar1" "bar2" "bar3" "bar4"

I've tried the following two approaches:

1) I created the file 'datalist' under pre-build directory 'foobar/data/'
with the following contents:
foo: bar1 bar2 bar3 bar4

After package build and install, "data(foo)" reports that data set 'foo' not
found (bar1, bar2, etc are all available individually, and are listed under
data() as "bar1 (foo)".

2) I created an image via save.image resulting in foo.rda (containing bar1,
bar2, etc).

data(foo) now loads bar1 - bar4, but 'foo' doesn't appear in the list of
available datasets displayed when trying to tab complete within data().


So my question is, what's the correct approach for what I'm trying to do
here?  Any advice welcome and appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrew
