[R] Unintended loading of package:datasets

[David A Vavra]

Thanks. Perhaps something else is going on. There is a large time period
(about 20 sec.) after the message about loading the package. More
investigation, I suppose.

Thanks again,
DAV

The datasets (note the ``s'') is a required R package which is  
*always* loaded
automatically --- and in my experience instantaneously.

I don't know about a dataset (singular) package.  There does not  
appear to be
one on CRAN.

There is some confusion in what you are doing.
