Martin,
If you have trouble finding page 74 of Introduction to R, you can get

Then when you see the web page "Statistical Data Analysis R", click on

read.spss() is part of the "foreign" package, which is installed as
part
of the base R installation, but it is not loaded by default.

Thus, you need to use:

library(foreign)
read.spss(...)

See ?library and page 74 in "An Introduction to R".
