Hi Yan,
Before I try to answer your question: please send R questions to the r-
help mailing list (cc'd here). You will likely get your answer more
quickly (since I'm not the only one looking at it) and it might help
other people who get stuck on a similar situation by finding the
answer on a public forum (just like you did).

Dear Steve
I have the same problem that I cannot load my own data sets. Feel
lucky I find solutions provided by you on the internet, but based
on your two options, I still cannot load my own data. Could you
please check my procedure to see which step is wrong:
1) I use package called "ismev"
2) I add rain1.rda into C:\Program Files\R\R-2.9.1\library\ismev
\data , which data is a zip folder
3) Load "ismev" package into R GUI
4) > data(rain1)
5) > Warning message:
In data(rain1) : data set 'rain1' not found
OR:
4) > load (rain1, package="ismev")
5) > Error in load(rain1, package = "ismev") :
unused argument(s) (package = "ismev")d
See ?load and ?data -- notice that it's not the "load" function that
takes the `package` parameter, but rather the "data" function.
But, here's a better tip:
DON'T PUT YOUR DATA IN SOMEONE ELSE'S PACKAGE
Why do you want to do this to begin with? I can't imagine any
compelling reason to do so unless you are the author of the package.
If you do have a reason to put it there, let me know because I find
this urge to do so a bit puzzling.
Anyway, just save your rain1.rda file in some directory that's related
to your project, and load it from there.
So, if your data is in "C:\Documents and Settings\YOU\RainRainGoAway
\rain1.rda", then load it from there in R:
R> load("C:\Documents and Settings\YOU\ RainRainGoAway\rain1.rda")
That should do the trick ... let us know if you need more help.
