[R] Learning R - View datasets

Hi All,

I am making a serious effort to try to learn R, but one hurdle I am facing is that I need to "see" the data as I walk through the examples in the packages.  For instance, many examples on the web start by a command like data("wines").  How can I actually view what the dataset looks like prior to transformations and analysis?  I have tried to use edit() , print, and head.

In short, I know that data() lists all of the available datasets, data("wines") will load the dataset wines, but how can I look at the raw data?

I figure this is probably an easy question, but any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brock
