R help - Oct 2003 - combination levels

Is there a function in R that will give all
combination levels. For example, I see
there is a "choose" function that gives

 >choose(5,2)
10

but I want
	
	1 2
	1 3
	1 4
	1 5
	2 3
	2 4
	2 5
	3 4
	3 5
	4 5

This is a simple example. Actually I would like
to do something like 10 choose 4.

See the combinations() function in the 'gregmisc' package on CRAN:
> combinations(5, 2)
      [,1] [,2]
 [1,]    1    2
 [2,]    1    3
 [3,]    1    4
 [4,]    1    5
 [5,]    2    3
 [6,]    2    4
 [7,]    2    5
 [8,]    3    4
 [9,]    3    5
[10,]    4    5
