[R] Overlaying trellis xyplot on contourplot

Friends: I wish to overlay data points on a contour graph.  The following
example produces a nice contour plot, but I have not mastered the concept
of using panel functions to modify plots. Can someone show me how to
overlay the data points (given after contour plot statement) on the
contourplot?

model <- function(a,b,c,X1,X2)                        # provide model
function for contour plot
 {(exp(a + b*X1 + c*X2)) / (1 + exp(a + b*X1 + c*X2))}

g <- expand.grid(X1 = seq(0.40, 0.8,0.01), X2 = seq(0.03,0.99,0.03)) #
create gridded data for contour plot
a <- -37.61                               # Assign value to 'a' parameter
b <- 34.88                                # Assign value to 'b' parameter
c <- 28.44                                # Assign value to 'c' parameter
g$z<- model(a, b, c, g$X1,g$X2)                       # Create variable z
using gridded data, model, and variables

contourplot(z ~ X1 * X2,                              # specify the basic
equation for the contour plot
 data=g,                                  # Specify the data frame to be
used
 contour=TRUE,                                  # Make sure it adds
contours
 xlim=c(0.4,0.8), ylim=c(0.401,0.999), zlim=c(0,1),         # Set axis
ranges
 xlab="p(H)", ylab="p(H|H)",                    # Add axis labels
 region = TRUE,                                 # Add nice colors
 cuts=10                                  # Specify number of contour
slices
 )

# Data to superimpose as xyplot on the contourplot....

ph <-c(0.42,0.47,0.59,0.40)                     # Create a vector of values
under variable 'ph'
phh <-c(0.76,0.81,0.82,0.71)                          # Create vector of
values for variable 'phh'
d <- data.frame(ph,phh)                               # Group variables ph
& phh in data frame 'd'
