R help - Jan 2006 - Where is the stud.ci() function used in boot.ci()?

Hello!
 
I am trying to duplicate the studentized bootstrap confidence interval
calculations in boot.ci() without using boot.ci().  My w/o boot.ci()
calculations are close to boot.ci() using the same object from
implementation of boot(), but not quite the same (I think the differences
are due to how quantiles are computed for z*).  Through examining the
boot.ci() code, I can see there is a call out to a function called
stud.ci().  Obviously, examining this function would be very helpful to see
how the calculations are truly done!  So, I am trying to find the actual
function code for the stud.ci() function.  Sorry if this is a simple
question, but does anyone know how this function code can be seen?
Unfortunately, this function can not be seen in R through simply typing its
name at the command prompt and there is no help entry for it.  Also, there
is no obvious file name in boot_1.2-24.zip at
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/boot.html for the
specific function.  
 
Thank you in advance!

Try one of

getAnywhere("stud.ci")
boot:::stud.ci

However, I think you would do better to get the source package 
(boot_1.2-24.tar.gz) and study the source code.  (The .zip is a Windows 
binary, and that is not supposed to be human-readable.)
