help with projection pursuit

Hi all,

I have some difficulties with the function ppr for projection pursuit 
regression.
I obtained the results for a projection pursuit regression and now I 
would like to
compute some predictions for new data.

I tried the function predict in the following way predict(res.ppr, 
newdata) but it seems
that it is not right. The data rock is given for illustration of the 
function ppr.

attach(rock)

rock.ppr <- ppr(log(perm) ~ area1 + peri1 + shape, data = rock, nterms = 2, max.terms = 5)


So suppose I want to make a prediction for the point
area1=10,peri1=3 and shape=2. I tried
the command predict(rock.ppr, c(10,3,2))  but it returns
an error message.
So, could you  indicate me the right way for this prediction?

Thanks for your help.
Olivier.
