R help - Jul 2001 - data sets

Windows 2000, R 1.3.0  via ESS.

It was my impression that example data sets could be accessed by simply typing
in the name of the data set associated with any loaded library (e.g.
'cars', or if MASS is loaded, 'hills'). Why might this data not
show up?

Thanks for ideas in advance.

Your impression is incorrect.  You need

library(MASS)
data(hills)

This is an R/S difference, which may one day disappear.
