R help - Dec 2010 - selecting for values above or within a range in the data matrix

Hi All,
I am new to the R program (only my 2nd day trying it out!) and this may seem
like a really stupid question but I was wondering if someone could help. I have
managed to calculate the pearson correlation coefficient for my data and now I
have a correlation coefficient matrix with a whole slew of numbers. I was
wondering if there is a way to only show the correlation coefficient values that
are between +0.85 to +1.0 and/or -0.85 to -1.0 in the matrix table.

Thanks in advance,
Allen

Maybe something like this:

  set.seed(1066)
  m <- matrix(sample(10, 20, TRUE), 5, 4)
  cm <- cor(m)
  ind <- which(abs(cm) < 0.85)
  is.na(cm) <- ind
  round(cm, 2)
