R help - Dec 2004 - xlim in lattice

dear all,

i do the following (using ecdf from Hmisc, but that in turn uses lattice):

ecdf(~stp | year*abil, group = bonus )

where year*abil defines 2x2 = 4 groups (and i've put year first so that 
years are columns since i want to manipulate the x-axis)

the scale of stp is very different for the 2 years, and i want 
xlim=c(0,60) when year=1, and xlim=c(0,280) when year=2.

i've been trying to solve this seemingly trivial problem for the last 3 
hours and still have no clue.

does anyone know how to achieve this?

Well, going as far as 

ecdf(~stp | year*abil, group = bonus,
     scales = 
     list(x = list(relation = "free", 
          limits = list(c(0, 60), c(0, 280), c(0, 60), c(0, 280)))))

should be easy enough. Unfortunately, it's not as easy to get rid of the 
labels from the first row. It's still possible, if you are desperate 
enough, but it's not very clean:

ecdf(~stp | year*abil, group = bonus,
     scales = 
     list(x = list(relation = "free", 
          limits = list(c(0, 60), c(0, 280), c(0, 60), c(0, 280)),
          at = list(TRUE, TRUE, NULL, NULL))),
     par.settings = list(layout.heights = list(axis.panel = c(1, 0))))

(this is assuming R 2.0.x)
