Dear Mathgroup!

In the Help 
standart packages -> discrete math -> combinatorica
one can see 
Compositions
NextComposition
RandomComposition

If you use Compositions[3,3] or RandomComposition[3,3] all is ok. 
But if you use NextComposition[3,3] the Mathematica doing nothing. 
It seems that there are now function with such name.
Or I'm doing something rong?
I'm using Mathematica 4.1 under Linux.

I tried to calculate Compositions[13,13] (only  5200300 variants) but
Mathematica said There are now memory The kernel shut down. And this is
on the mashine with 1GB DDR and 1GB swap-file!!! Only 5200300x13 small
integer numbers.

Any ideas about NextComposition?
Thank you,
Nikolay
