1. You get a list of objects (not only functions!!!) by typing
    ls(env=environment("R_GlobalEnv"))

2. In the html-help files, e.g. the "Functions" index could help you.
   Attention: Not only functions are listed here!

3. For my R-WinEdt "package", I extracted names of functions of many R
packages. 
   If you want, I will send some files.

Cool!!! Would be really useful!!!

PS:
Maybe R-devel is the better forum to discuss this?
