I encountered the following. My quick and simple search of past 
emails in R-sig-geo didn't find any previous discussion.


>  search()
  ".GlobalEnv"        "package:rmacq"     "package:rgdal"
   "package:maptools"  "package:sp"
   "package:foreign"   "package:stats"     "package:graphics"
  "package:grDevices" "package:utils"     "package:datasets"
   "package:methods"   "Autoloads"         "package:base"

Help on topic 'CRS' was found in the following packages:

Followed by a request to identify which one to view.

Thanks
