[R] attach (S-style)?

[Christian Hoffmann]

Hi everyone,

Being new to the crowd of R users I am wondering what the equivalent of  

attach("/home/bla/hoffmann/R/.RData",2) 

 (S style) is in R.

What I want is a split of .RData repositories. One in a central place where I keep functions and interesting stuff important for all work I am doing, an several others which contain stuff of an dividual project only. When I start in a project directory I want to make available the central stuff. If I do it like in S+ I am getting and rightly so:

Error in attach("/home/woodstock/hoffmann/R/.RData", 2) : 
	attach only works for lists and data frames

What is the trick to use in R?

Thanks for your help.
