[R] Two functions with the same name

[Petr Pikal]

Hi

you probably created the second function in .Global Environment e.g. 
directly in console. 
see 
ls() 
and look for the name of the function. If it is there the only way I 
know about is to remove the function from environment by

rm(name.of.the.function)

then the masked function shall by usable again provided that you did 
not detached the package.

Probably there is some way through environment() but I never used it 
and therefore I can not help you other way than to encourage to read 
its help page.
