  \item{to}{ending date, like \code{from}.}
  \item{by}{either a numeric value or one of the valid strings

  \item{length.}{optional number of elements in the sequence.}
  \item{\dots}{further arguments to be passed to or from methods.}
}
\value{a sequence with values (\code{form}, \code{from + by},
  \code{from + 2*by}, \dots, \code{to}) of class
  \code{class(from)} and origin \code{origin(from)}. 
  Note that \code{from} must be less than or equal to the argument
  \code{to}.

\examples{
seq.dates("01/01/92", "12/31/92", by = "months")
# [1] 01/01/92 02/01/92 03/01/92 04/01/92 05/01/92 06/01/92
# [7] 07/01/92 08/01/92 09/01/92 10/01/92 11/01/92 12/01/92

end.of.the.month <- seq.dates("02/29/92", by = "month", length = 15)
end.of.the.month
#  [1] 02/29/92 03/31/92 04/30/92 05/31/92 06/30/92 07/31/92
#  [7] 08/31/92 09/30/92 10/31/92 11/30/92 12/31/92 01/31/93
