Two answers: 

1. Don't do this. Cycle over a series of 
graphs or look at the moments (or L-moments) 
directly. Much more informative. -moments- 
and -lmoments-, for example, are on SSC. 

The answers -sktest- gives are rarely 
the answers you really want. There is 
lots on the grounds for this outrageous
statement in the archives. 

2. -foreach- and -levels-. There is an 
FAQ on this.
