Dear Jeff,

The sem package does 2SLS (but not 3SLS or SUR).

A more general question that is implicit in many postings to the list is 
how to find functions in contributed packages on CRAN. One can use the 
help.search function for this purpose to search installed packages, but I'm 
unaware of a means for searching the contents of *all* packages. It would 
be nice to be able to do so.
