As a first-time user, I have just installed R1.2.3 under Windows 98,
and have encountered the following problems:

(1) When I got to the command

file.show("morley.tab")

in the session of Appendix A (A sample session) of An Introduction to
R, I got the warning message

file.show(): file morley.tab does not exist

although this dataset _is_ listed among datasets known to R.

(2) I have downloaded the 'foreign' package and put it in the
directory

c:\Program Files\R\rw1023\library\foreign

What is the command to find out whether it is recognised by R?

With a view to (1), how do I ensure that 'foreign' is recognised by
R?

Help would be most appreciated.
