I'm sorry to bother everyone with a stupid
question but, when I am at an R prompt in Windows,
is there a way to see what packages
you already have installed from the R site so
that you can just do library(name_of_package)
and it will work.
I've looked at help etc but I can't find
a command like this. Maybe there
isn't one which is fine.

Thanks to all. I didn't
Realize that you
Got so many packages
Automatically.
I've used S+ for roughly
10 years on and off and
I am starting to switch over
( was finally forced to because my new company preferred
me to use R for cost. I am the only user )
and it's unbelievable what has been done
in R by everyone. Truly
amazing. You should
all be quite proud
about what you have created.
Mark

library() (no arguments) lists all the installed packages (by library).
