With considerable difficulty, deliberately so.  Type III ss ignore the
hierarchy of the terms that all the S/R formula calculations insist on.
S-PLUS has a way to do this, but it is much berated. S has a bug in drop1
that can be used to fake type III ss's, but R has not copied that bug.

The only way I know to do this in R is to pick apart model matrices and fit
sub-models for each line.  But then as (a) I think it is statistical
nonsense and (b) I know how to do in S-PLUS, I have not tried to do it in
R!

You can pass additional argument in ..., as in the example (cave) on the
help page.  If you want to vary more than one argument, write a wrapper
function (which you can always do) and use that in the call to apply.

If that is not clear enough, please give us an explicit example of what you
are want to do.
