 My (and, judging from previous traffic on R-help about power analyses,
 also some other people's) preferred approach is to simply simulate an
 effect size you would like to detect a couple of thousand times, run your
 proposed analysis and look how often you get significance.  In your simple
 case, this should be quite easy.

I actually don't have much experience running monte-carlo designs like
this...so while I'd certainly prefer a bootstrapping method like this one,
simulating the effect size given my constraints isn't something I've done
before.

The MANOVA procedure takes 5 dependent variables, and determines what
combination of the variables best discriminates the two levels of my
independent variable...then the discrimination rate is represented in the
statistic (Pillai's V=.00019), which is then tested (F[5,18653] = 0.71).  So
coming up with a set of constraints that would produce V=.00019 given my
data set doesn't quite sound trivial...so I'll go for the "par" library
reference mentioned earlier before I try this.  That said, if anyone can
refer me to a tool that will help me out (or an instruction manual for RNG),
I'd also be much obliged.

Many thanks,
Adam
