[R] What command lists everything in a package?

Hi,
Two easy questions I'm sure.
1) As an example if I use the code
require(zoo)
then once it's loaded is there a command that lists everything that
zoo provides so that I can study the package?
Certainly help(zoo) gives me some clues about what zoo does but I'd
like a list. Maybe there's a way to query something but in Rgui under
Win Vista ls() returns nothing after zoo is loaded.
2) Related to the above, how do I tell what packages are currently
loaded at any given time so that I don't waste time loading things
that are already loaded? search() tells me what's available, but
what's loaded? The best I can find so far goes like this:
> a<-.packages(all.available = FALSE)
> a
[1] "zoo" "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets"
[7] "methods" "base"
>
Maybe that's as good as it gets in code and if I want better then I
write a function?
Thanks,
Mark
