Hi Jason,
I assume that you actually have "WVS.RData" in your working directory
when you try to load it. Otherwise you will get an error message. If
you don't get an error message when you do this:

load("WVS.RData")

there will be a new object in your workspace. So if you want to see
what the object is, try this:

objects()
load("WVS.RData")
objects()

Unless you have already run the "load" command, there will be a new
object in the list. That is what you're looking for. Say that object
is named "x". You can look at the first part of it with:

head(x)

and maybe do some basic editing with:

edit(x)

Good luck.

Jim
