Hi,

Check out the FAQ on the home page about installing packages.

You need to
1. Install the package from a local mirror, you can do this from the drop 
down menu ("Install packages")
2. then call the package using "library(name of the package)"

It helps to know where your R library directory is on your computer.

HTH Simon.
