R help - Aug 2009 - Help with Ecdf function

Dear R users,

I'm using Ecdf (Hmisc library) to plot four cdf in a same graphic. In this
graphic I also plot the 0.99 quantile for these cdf. I successfully plot
cdfs using different types of line to distinguish them, but I can't
determine the type of lines showing 0.99 quantile.

Is there a way to assign different line types for quantile lines in Ecdf
plot?

Best regards,

How did you do this? Experimenting with the example on hte Ecdf help  
page it appears that adding lines with abline works fairly well,  
despite this being a mixture of lattice and base graphics.

What do you mean by "quantile lines"?
