R SIG Debian - Apr 2011 - demography's lifetable: how to incoporate the parameter "franction of last age interval of life"

Dear list:
I have tried demography package in my Ubuntu(10.04). What I interested in was
lifetable analysis. Chiang(1984)'s reference have been copied to steeper my
learning curve. step by step, the example presented by the textbook also have
been examined.
In the course I find that the paramter "fraction of last age intervl of
life" could not be take as a option in the module "lifetable" or
"life.expectancy".
Could you give some suggestion on how to take count of this parameter?
Sincerely
Ethan Chang
