R help - Apr 2004 - current env

i want to do something like this:

f <- function(){
	data(iris)
}

and have f() not leave iris in the global env. i can see there is a env
argument in data() but i dont know what to send it so that it uses the
current environment and not the global env.

any help appriciated.

-r

I think you want

f <- function() {
    data(iris, envir = environment())
}

-roger
