R help - Feb 2004 - moments, skewness, kurtosis

I checked the help and the mailing list archives, but I can
find no mention of a routine that calculates higher 
moments like skewness and kurtosis.   Of course, these
are easy enough to write myself, but I was thinking
that they MUST be in here.  Am I wrong?

Thanks.

	Is this what you are looking for?
	library(e1071)
	?moment

	I found it via:
	help.search("moments")

	Best,
