Hi -
I was wondering how to implement an unstructured covariance structure in lmer(), is there code for that?
Thank you!

"Unstructured" (aka 'general positive (semi)definite') covariance 
matrices are the *only* option in lme4.  If you give a little bit more 
detail/context about what you want to do, we may be able to help you better.
