I meant the version of Hmisc, but that should be fine too. Anyway, on
my installation the definition of xYplot looks fine (and works for
your example):

> xYplot
function (formula, data = sys.frame(sys.parent()), groups, subset,
    xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, ylim = NULL, panel = panel.xYplot,
    prepanel = prepanel.xYplot, scales = NULL, minor.ticks = NULL,
    ...)
{

[...]

    do.call("xyplot", c(list(x = formula, data = data, prepanel = prepanel,
        panel = panel), if (length(ylab)) list(ylab = ylab),
        if (length(ylim)) list(ylim = ylim), if (length(xlab))
list(xlab = xlab),
        if (length(scales)) list(scales = scales), if
(length(minor.ticks)) list(minor.ticks = minor.ticks),
        if (!missing(groups)) list(groups = groups), if
(!missing(subset)) list(subset = subset),
        list(...)))
}
<environment: namespace:Hmisc>


If you see the same thing, in particular for the

    do.call("xyplot", c(list(x = formula, data = data,

part, then I don't have a solution for your problem.
