XML : GetHTML not found

Beginner web scraper. I've loaded packages: XML, RCurl, bitops and stringr. Starting by scraping links to cvs files. here's the code

  library(XML)    library(bitops)    library(stringr)    library(RCurl)    #    url = "http://elections.state.md.us/elections/2012/election_data/index.html"    links = getHTMLLinks(doc = url)      

I get the following message:

Error: could not find function "getHTMLLinks"

When I check the XML package command list, I notice it does not contain the getHTMLLink() command. Has this command been replaced (removed). I'm working an example from textbook, so I expect the commands to exist. Advice appreciated. ps: code section was indented 4-spaces as instructed.
