Give Search Path for R Objects

Description:

     Gives a list of 'attach'ed _packages_ (see 'library'), and R
     objects, usually 'data.frames'.

Usage:

     search()
     searchpaths()

Value:

     A character vector, starting with '".GlobalEnv"', and ending with
     '"package:base"' which is R's 'base' package required always.

     'searchpaths' gives a similar character vector, with the entries
     for packages being the path to the package used to load the code.
