[R] Help with Plot/Legend

[jimdare]

Thanks Jim,

What happens if I want one solid line and four custom lines
("92","11","12","62).  
I tried c("10","92","11","12","62) and it said that you can't use 0's.  I
also tried:

ownlines<-c("92","11","12","62)
lty=c(1,ownlines)

which resulted in the same thing.
