R help - Feb 2013 - Parallel computation in R

Hello again, in the task view I see that "Direct support in R is
starting with release 2.14.0 which includes a new package parallel
.......". However I can not get any access to it. When I type
ls('package:parallel'), I get following error:
>  ls('package:parallel')
Error in as.environment(pos) :
  no item called "package:parallel" on the search list



I am using R-2.15.2 on windows.

Can somebody suggest me what I need to do if I want to do parallel
computing on windows?

Thanks for your help.

Well, presumably you would first go to the library, get the package
off the shelf and put it on your search path.
This should do it:

   library(parallel)
