R help - Feb 2005 - H-F corr.: covariance matrix for interaction effect

Hi,

I'm still not quite there with my H-F (G-G) correction code. I have it 
working for the main effects, but I just can't figure out how to do it 
for the effect interactions. The thing I really don't know (and can't 
find anything about) is how to calculate the covariance matrix for the 
interaction between the two (or even n) main factors.
I've looked through some books here and I've tried everything that came 
to my mind, but I can't seem to be able to figure out an algorithm that 
does it for me.

Could anyone give me a hint about how I could do this?
(I'll append my code at the end, in case that helps in any way...)

Thanks

Bela
