In that case, I think the R documentation is adequate. Go to a CRAN mirror, such as http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/, click on the "Manuals" link at the left, download the R Reference Index (a pdf), find the man page for the quantile function (in the stats package), and I think you'll have what you're looking for. Or install the binary distribution for Mac OS X from CRAN and use the help from there. If your Mac OS is too old for the current CRAN, older versions can be found at CRAN. Source code can be downloaded easily enough from CRAN if you want to see the actual source code. -Don >However, I can still take a look at this if you think it proper to >press on. > >Ben > >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft >Defy all challenges.
