Hello,

I apologize in advance as this example seems really elementary.  Below I 
have created a simple scatterplot with lines.  I would like to label 
each line with the name of the village, instead of using a legend.  Can 
someone please let me know how to do it.

Thanks in advance -- John

xyplot(Pop~Year, groups=Villages,type="b",
                  main="Population of logging villages",
                   xlab=list(expression("Years"),cex=1.2),
                   ylab=list(expression("Number of people"),cex=1.2),
