How can I remove the last 100 elements of a zoo series?

I know the name[-element] notation but I can't get it work to substract a full section

I like using head for this because it's easier to type. The other methods probably execute faster though... but I'm lazy and my computer is not. ;-)

x <- head(x,-100)
> head(1:102,-100)
[1] 1 2
