[R] another histogram question

Hi there,

I hope this question is not as stupid as the one before ...
I tried to shorten my histogram (because the distribution is quite skewed and I 
simply don't want to see the long tail but still use the histogram plot). How 
can I do something like this? (The example does not work but I don't know why...)

data <- rnorm(100) # as example, of course this is not skewed...

h <- hist(data, plot=FALSE)
mh <- 5
hh <- list(h$breaks[0:(mh+1)], 
h$counts[0:mh],h$intensities[0:mh],h$density[0:mh],h$mids[0:mh],h$xname,h$equidist)
names(hh) <- names(h)
plot(hh)
