Thankyou William. I found the package and read through the documentation. I'm not a statistican, so it was largely over my head. I was looking for a command/function that described itself as performing a frequency distribution, and could not find anything obvious enough.
What did you have in mind in the package that you thought may help? All I'm looking to do is ask it to give me frequencies and cumulative frequencies for the whole dataset, using intervale widths of 100 or 1000 (in much the same way the data would have to have been binned before producing a histogram.
