Greetings R community,

I am making my first package and have run into the need to use other packages.  
I  pass all the checks in the command prompt running Rcmd check package.name.  
In the Description file I have included:

Depends: R (>= 2.13), plotrix
Repository: CRAN

Now I create the zip file for windows 7.  I delete my plotrix package from my 
library to create a setup where others might encounter when installing my package 
(perhaps they don't have the package dependency plotrix installed).  I now install 
the zip file in my R library and try to load it in R generating the following 
error:>



if you have declared stuff as above and CRAN is among the current 
repositories, install.packages() will install the dependencies for you.

library(genTools)

Loading required package: plotrix
Error: package ‘plotrix’ could not be loaded
In addition: Warning message:
In library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, lib.loc = 
lib.loc) :
   there is no package called ‘plotrix’

Now the question:  How do I get my package to automatically download 
dependencies from CRAN as other CRAN packages do when I install them to my 
library for the first time?
