Sorry, I didn't consider this part of your message carefully.  R_quansari
and R_pansari are indeed variables, but they are unexported variables in the
stats namespace.  Therefore if you want to use these functions outside of
their namespace, you will need something like:

  pansari <- function(q, m, n) {
            .C( stats:::R_pansari, as.integer(length(q)), p = as.double(q),
                as.integer(m), as.integer(n))$p
        }

Hope this helps!
