Look at ?bug.report to find out how to send a bug report with the 
information we need, like the version of R in use.

Let me check one thing. You did do library(ts) and got no
error messages? Your example does work in a proper install of 
rw0901 (if you have Windows on your PC, that is).

Look at the example in ?filter in library(ts). That will
almost certainly not work if acf does not, though.
