[R] Am I an idiot?

Hey everyone,

What am I doing wrong?  I loaded the MASS package with library(MASS), and
now when I type library() I get

> library()

   Packages in library `F:\r\rw0651/library':

   MASS            Main Library of Venables and Ripley's MASS
   base            The R base package
   .
   .
   .

That's fine.  The problem is that when I try to use a function that I know
is built into MASS -- in particular, rlm() -- I get

> rlm
Error: Object "rlm" not found

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Steve

P.S.: I'm running R 0.65.1 under Windows NT 4.0SP6, if that matters at all.
