hello,

i was shortly asking the list for help with some interaction contrasts (see
below) for which
i had to change the reference level of the model "on the fly" (i read a post
that this is possible in 
multcomp).

if someone has a clue how this is coded in multcomp; glht() - please point
me there.

yours,
kay
