R help - Oct 2010 - Multivariate Contrasts

Hi,
I am interested in running multivariate contrasts from manova. Here is the code
I have currently for a one-way Manova. I would like to run multivariate
contrasts for the Year factor. 
Thanks!
#Reduced model
t14m1<-manova(as.matrix(t14c[,4:10])~t14c$Year)


#get multivariate results
summary.manova(t14m1)
summary.manova(t14m1,test="Wilks")


#Anova in the car package can run Type III tests
Anova(t14m1,type="III")
Anova(t14m1,type="III",test="Wilks")

In general, if Year is a factor, you may get what you want simply by 
assigning to
contrasts(t14c$Year) <-
See ?contrasts

See also linearHypothesis in the car package and, e.g., 
demo("bees.contrasts") plus
