Try this: attach(as.list(ENV)) search() # shows it on the path
A function's environment refers to where variables in the function are looked for if they can't find the variable in the function itself. The environment in which a function itself is located is entirely different. e.g. a <- 1 e <- new.env() e$a <- 2 e$fun <- function(x) x*x+a environment(fun) e$fun(10) # 101 fun2 <- function(x) x*x + a environment(fun2) <- e fun2(10) # 102 fun is located in environment e but the environment of fun, i.e. environment(fun), is the .GlobalEnv. fun2 is located in the .GlobalEnv but the environment of fun2, i.e. environment(fun2) is e.
