\begin{Details}\relax
The original help page for these functions is often
available at \code{help("oldName-deprecated")} (note the quotes).
Functions in packages other than the base package are listed in
\code{help("pkg-deprecated")}.

\code{loadURL} has been superseded by \code{\LinkA{load}{load}(url())}.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

\code{delay} has been replaced by \code{\LinkA{delayedAssign}{delayedAssign}}. 
As from \R{} 2.1.0 promises should never be visible unevaluated.
