>Official R speak actually is `package' for what you call `library'.

Yes, I forgot, sorry.
Thanks for all the other details.

>Would it be important to know the location of a package?

Probably not for the code, but if I put data in .../dse/data then I need to know
where it is in order to load it (and sometimes to pass the location to other
processes to load it). The way I've done this in S is to set a global variable
in .First.lib using the library and section arguments, but I don't think this is
available in R yet.
