Hi.  I'm sure this is a complete green-horn question.  I apologize.

I'm trying to use as.Date *exactly* as shown on p. 194 of the manual (code
fragment and error message pasted below).  Is there some kind of "include"
or "import" statement that I need to issue?  Thank you very much for saving
what remains of my hair.


> x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960")
> z <- as.Date(x, "%d%b%Y")
Error: couldn't find function "as.Date"
