problems based on a small number of subjects, though perhaps it is elsewhere.
Does anyone know? (Better yet, is there a complete list of procedures that can
be performed by all available packages?)

See this post from the archives:
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/106430.html
which I found using RSiteSearch("Kaiser sampling adequacy"). I
don't
know of a complete list of all procedures (functions) in all packages,
but, among other things, RSiteSearch() is very useful when the question
is, "Is there a package or function to do X?"
