Dear Erin,

Unlike in previous version of R for Windows, the package list is
alphabetized with uppercase letters preceding lowercase letters. Thus look
under uppercase "R" and then lowercase "c".

Actually, that is not the case: the list is in whatever order the repositories provide, ordered by repository, and in previous versions of R it was sorted in the locale (which as you are both most likely in a Windows American English locale, would sort the way John describes).

It's a somewhat accidental result of removing support for bundles that the list was no longer sorted, and I'll add the sort back.


Regards,
John

Hi again.

On Windows, when I try to use the "install packages" from the menu, there
is
no Rcmdr and no RcmdrPlugins to be seen.

thanks,
Erin
