I didn't mention that different colors is not an option. But actually
on more investigation it appears that I'm wrong about whether the line
type is continued through the line. what I needed to do was to specify
the lty as something like "F7" (which I was already doing) and also set
lwd higher since the units in the lty are proportional to lwd:

x <- seq(1,100000,1)
plot(x,x,lty="F7",type="l",lwd=2)

So modifying plot.stepfun() so that it uses lines() instead of segments()
and then using the above parameters will work.

Thanks,
Richard
