If you aren't happy with that, you might review other options:


library(sos)
 > (xlsx <- ???xlsx)
found 372 matches;  retrieving 19 pages
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
Downloaded 268 links in 58 packages.


       This opened a table in my default browser listing 268 help pages
containing "xlsx", sorted to put first the package with the most
matches.


 > findFn2xls(xlsx)


       This wrote a file "xlsx.xls" to the working directly, the first
sheet of which gave a summary of the 58 packages containing at least one
match.


       For years, I've used read.xls{gdata}.  That's number 8 on this
list.  I don't know which is best.
