corr.test -- use a different null hypothesis

I want to use corr.test to test for the correlation of two data sets (actually I have a lot of data set and perform pairwise testing). But I wanted to find sets where the correlation is less than a certain limit, i.e. |r_exp| < r_0. As far as I can see corr.test is designed to work only for the null hypothesis r_exp = 0. I would need H0 as |r_exp|>= r_0.
cor.test (sic!) for method="pearson" returns a confidence interval for r. You could use the upper limit of it for your test Dieter
