[R] altering prefix to multiple variables in different locations within a command file

[Stephen Tucker]

I think what you are looking for is attach()?

attach(kc)
# commands (don't need to prefix variables with "kc$")
detach(kc)

In this way an environment is created in which you can refer to the variables
in your data frame without the "kc$" prefix.
(see ?attach)
