I accidently left off the fact that what I REALLY did was:

Error: Object "princomp" not found

cancor                   Canonical Correlations
cmdscale                 Classical (Metric) Multidimensional Scaling
dist                     Distance Matrix Computation
hclust                   Hierarchical Clustering
kmeans                   K-Means Clustering
prcomp                   Principal Components Analysis
