R help - Jun 2009 - tail probability

Hi r-users,

If I have 100000 data generated from multi skew-t distribution, how do I find
the tail probability of alpha=.01?

Thank you.

You have given us the tail probability, so I assume you are asking for  
the the value of x above which the tail probability is 0.01.

Perhaps the examples here:
?ecdf

or perhaps

x[order(x)][99000]
