R help - Mar 2011 - state.x77 dataset

I tried:
> data(state.x77)
Warning message:
In data(state.x77) : data set 'state.x77' not found

data(iris)  seems to work fine, but the other state datasets (which I haven’t
every tried before) don’t seem to be available
on my windows 7 running R 2.12.2 installation.

?state brings up the state help page page which suggest the dataset should still
be there. In help there still seems to be a reference to state.x77, so I’m
thinking it should be there.  When I do data() I find:
state.x77 (state)   

which might suggest it is in a package named even though the heading of the menu
says datasets in datasets.   I see no package named state unless I’m missing
something.

Anyone know what’s going on?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob,
I'm not sure exactly what state is, but this works:


data(state)

head(state.x77) #or whatever

Best,
Ista
