R help - Jul 2003 - I don't find "fuzzy matching"

hello.
I'm a student that work on R.(version 1.7.0)
I need to some data frames such as
"possum","Beams"'"kiwishade","dolphins",...
.
I typed help.search("possum") and so on,but the
response was "No help files found with alias or title
matching 'possum' using fuzzy matching.".
I dont know what is "fuzzy matching" and I didn't find
it in google search.
please help me to find these data frames very very
directly.

Fuzzy Matching Identifying Words with Similar Spelling

Why you believe that the data.frames you mentioned
are in R-Project or any package - any literature?
>data(package = .packages(all.available = TRUE))
But it seems, that it works only for installed packages.

regards,christian

I think the datasets you're talking
about can be downloaded at

http://wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/~johnm/r/dsets/

put these in your working directory
and type (in R), e.g.
> source("dolphins.R")
You can see you have the data now
by typing:
> dolphins
