In addition to the other answers, I would suggest that the next time you
get the "could not find function" message, try like this:

 help.search('Boxplot')

Among the output from that you should see

  graphics::boxplot                         Box Plots

which should lead you to "boxplot" instead of "Boxplot".


You may see considerably more output from help.search(), depending on what
packages you have installed. For example, when I did it, I found that the
car package has a function named "Boxplot".
