Yes, the glm.scoretest() function is very basic.  At the moment it tests 
for adding a single covariate at a time, i.e., a 1 df test, or several 1 
df tests.  If you like, I could add a multiple column version that would 
work for factors etc, it would be only more line or so.  I figure you'd 
want to pull code out of glm.scoretest() rather than call it explicitly 
anyway.
