R help - Aug 2003 - function "lme"

Thanks to everyone who replied to my first problem. Here is the second one: 
Is the function "lme" (Mixed Model) also in a foreign
library(shouldnt, as
this is a basic statistical function)? I am trying to use lme in R and it 
replies that it couldnt find the function lme...weird...

Thanks for replying!

Obviously it is not going to be in foreign.  

I believe nlme is the library you want to load.

yes.

When you encounter this sort of problem, try

help.search("lme")

This will tell you which installed library has the function.

What's "basic" for some is extraneous for others.  Which is why R
was
made to be extensible.  It's a Good Thing, not an inconvenience.  It 
makes R feature-rich, without being bloated.  Users can specify what 
level of features they want to include.

Cheers
