It is important to use conventional terminology here. The package (and its dependencies) gets loaded but not *attached*. The `library` and `require` functions load and attach a package in a single step. You can also manually attach and detach environments to/from the search path using the `attach` and `detach` functions. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
