      Have you considered "predict.lm", at least in R 1.9.1?  (If I 
understand your question, it is answered in the "examples" to 
"predict.lm".) 

      hope this helps. 
p.s.  I believe this is described in Venables and Ripley, Modern Applied 
Statistics with S, but I don't have this book at my fingertips.  Also, 
have you read the posting" guide! 
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html"?  Its suggestions might 
help you get quicker answers for yourself without waiting for this list 
to reply and might improve the quality of the replies to questions you 
submit.

>I have one problem with finding the appropriate functions in R that would perform this operation: We have X, the independent variable, and Y, the response variable, so that a regression line of these variables can be calculated. Using the Student t distribution, we need to find the 95% prediction interval of the mean of Y for the certain value of X. For example, R has the built-in data ( data(cars) ) for cars' speed as the independent variable and cars' stopping distance as the response variable. Find 95% prediction interval of mean stopping distance for cars speeding at 30.
