Don/Peter,

   I found the problem: it was in the following line in the script which
referenced 'date' rather than 'sampdate'.

   Single or double quotes make no difference within the script.

   I have a vague recollection from long ago that read.table() is a better
choice than read.csv(). I don't recall the details why, but I did change the
function to read.table(), fixed the column name, and have only the labeling
of the xyploy() left to fix.

Thanks very much, both of you,

Rich
