accessing Datasets

Dear R people,

This is probably a FAQ, and a silly question besides, but...

a lot of R packages have datasets contained within them. cf. spatial has
"topo". Once I have loded the appropriate library, how do I access the
datasets contained within? I know this must be very simple, but I have
spent some (fruitless, frustrated time) trying to do this, so am asking
for help. 

library(spatial)
data(topo)  # make the topo data available
summary(topo)

x               y               z        
 Min.   :0.200   Min.   :0.000   Min.   :690.0  
 1st Qu.:1.925   1st Qu.:1.550   1st Qu.:787.5  
 Median :3.250   Median :3.300   Median :830.0  
 Mean   :3.319   Mean   :3.212   Mean   :827.1  
 3rd Qu.:4.975   3rd Qu.:4.850   3rd Qu.:873.0  
 Max.   :6.300   Max.   :6.200   Max.   :960.0  

See
 ?data
for more details.
