Creating datasets in packages

The key question:
We don't know what you _did_. How did you save the data?
Did you follow the directions in the Writing R Extensions
manual? Does ls() show the dataset? etc.

You can "access the dataset from data" - do you mean
that you can load the data directly from the data directory
within your package? How?

In developing the package, I have associated datasets (*.rda) stored in the data sub-directory. I built and installed the package successfully.

When I load the BowRiver dataset and USArrests
[1] "data"      "USArrests"

Why is mine stored as "data" and not "BowRiver"?

Because you have named it 'data' when you saved it into the .rda file,
haven't you?
