_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     These functions are provided for compatibility with older versions
     of R only, and may be defunct as soon as the next release.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     loadURL(url, envir = parent.frame(), quiet = TRUE, ...)
     delay(x, env = .GlobalEnv)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     url: a character string naming a URL.

   envir: the environment where the data should be loaded.

quiet, ...: additional arguments to 'download.file'.

       x: an expression

     env: an evaluation environment

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The original help page for these functions is often available at
     'help("oldName-deprecated")' (note the quotes). Functions in
     packages other than the base package are listed in
     'help("pkg-deprecated")'.

     'loadURL' has been superseded by 'load(url())'.  Note the comments
     on that help page: Windows users will need to use 'mode="wb"'.

     'delay' has been replaced by 'delayedAssign'.  As from R 2.1.0
     promises should never be visible unevaluated.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'Deprecated'
