[R] package memisc: recode examples

[Eik Vettorazzi]

Hi Marion,
the Hmisc package has also a function called "recode", maybe you loaded
this package after memisc so the memisc version was masked (you should
have got a warning message about that). Or perhaps you wrote you own
recode function?

Try

find("recode",mode="function")

to see all search list entries.

You can access the desired function regardless of the place in the
search path by
memisc::recode(...)
