lmrd() by default draws lines for the Pearson type III distribution
(which is a 3-parameter form of the gamma distribution) and the
generalized normal distribution (a differently parametrized version
of the 3-parameter lognormal distribution).  Is this what you want?
If not, I don't know what else you want to know about "the
specification of the parameter (lmom)".
