Richard,

You might try detaching and re-attaching the directory.  The following
function works for me to fix a similar problem:

retach <- function(what = 1)
{
# detach and re-attach
        searchlist <- detach(what)
        attach(searchlist[what], pos = what)
        invisible(search())
}

for example:  retach(1)
to re-attach the work directory.

Yopu may have to close and re-open any object explorer pointing into that
directory.

Thanks to Greg Snow, Sam Buttrey, Nick Ellis, Patrick Connolly, and immhan
who suggested that using synchronize() might allow a user to see objects
created by someone else.

After a little experimentation, we determined that this does not work on our
platform (Windows95 PCs, Novell Netware on network. SPLUS 2000 Prof. Release
1).  Exiting SPLUS and re-entering does work but is pretty inconvenient,
especially if you're working on a deadline.
