[R] data files in R

[Don MacQueen]

Did you install nlme in addition to downloading it? If you have 
installed it, then as you browse the help pages for various 
functions, such as lme(), you have no doubt noticed that many of the 
examples start with a command such as

   data(Orthodont)

This is how you access the data in files that have the .rda 
extension. Normally, to the best of my knowledge, the .R extension is 
for files that contain R code. Not data, but code.
