Colleagues ---------------------------------- System info: R version rw1020 on NT ESS using emacs ver. 20.4 ---------------------------------- I want to find a contributed function in packages that I do not already have installed (if it were installed I would use library(help=MASS) for example). Is there a way to search all contributed packages for a particular function? (other than paging into the read.me files on <http://www.cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/windows-NT/windows- NT/contrib/?N=A> or going through each packages index of contents on <http://www.cran.r-project.org/>) Help will be appreciated.
