I have an array from an mcmc simulation and I'd like to try and use the
monitor function in R2WinBUGS. The R2WinBUGS package is in the search
path and when I try help(monitor) the help page appears for the
function. But, when I try and use it the following happens:

> monitor(sims)
Error: couldn't find function "monitor"

I've searched the archives but have not seen any issues with this
posted. The following are also in the search path

> search()
 [1] ".GlobalEnv"        "package:R2WinBUGS" "package:BRugs"
"package:MASS"      "package:methods"  
 [6] "package:stats"     "package:graphics"  "package:grDevices"
"package:utils"     "package:datasets" 
[11] "Autoloads"         "package:base"   

I've also tried the following just to see what would happen

> example(monitor)
Warning message:
'monitor' has a help file but no examples file in: example(monitor) 

Any thoughts on how to reconcile this?
