[R] Orthogonal Polynomial Regression Parameter Estimation

[WilD KID]

Dear Prof Brian Ripley,

	First of all, thanks for your kind reply. 
	Actually, my subscribed e-mail account in both the
lists are different (due to space considerations) -
that is why e-mail ID's were different, not the name -
"Mohammad Ehsanul Karim". Also, i am interested in any
system that solves my problem (i use R 1.7.1 and
S-plus 4.0 version).

	Anyway, can you give me any suggestions how should i
solve my problem (in any given system)? Yes - it is
possible to solve my problem on a step-by-step basis -
but i thought that some functions might be available
to solve this Orthogonal Polynomial Regression problem
directly. If lm(Y~poly(X,degree = 6)) does not work -
then is there any other way - or i am using it in an
improper way?

	Thank you for your time and effort.
