Erik, I see the following when I type "apply" at the prompt:
apply
standardGeneric for "apply" defined from package "base"
function (X, MARGIN, FUN, ...)
standardGeneric("apply")
<environment: 0x03cad7d0>
Methods may be defined for arguments: X, MARGIN, FUN
Use showMethods("apply") for currently available ones.
Also, whether I type "mean" at the prompt, or I type "edit(mean)", I
do not see the underlying code for function "mean". How would I be
able to see it?

And what packages have you loaded? That *is* your current definition of apply,
I'm guessing some package is changing the base definition of 'apply', since
that's not what happens in my R --vanilla session. Regarding mean, you don't
show your output, but my guess is that it *is* printing the function definition,
which is generic. Try typing out mean.default and see what happens. What
happens when you type lm ?
