"Data -> New data set" allows you to enter a new data set in the R data editor; it doesn't give you access to a data set that's currently in memory. Assuming that dat is a data frame (and that it really has more than just one line), you can access it either via "Data -> Active data set -> Select active data set", or by clicking the "No active dataset" button in the Rcmdr toolbar.
