R help - Oct 2005 - Plotting more than one series on the same graph

I'm new to R and have searched for help and consulted the the pdf
manuals, but I can't seem to figure out how to plot more than one
series on the same graph.

I've tried using multiple par(new=TRUE) statements such as
>plot(series1, ci.type="line", col="red", lwd=2,
ci.lty=0, ci.col="red")
>par(new=TRUE)
>plot(series2, ci.type="line", col="green", lwd=2,
ci.lty=0, ci.col="green")
>par(new=TRUE)
>plot(series3, ci.type="line", col="blue", lwd=2,
ci.lty=0, ci.col="blue")
and this does plot the three series on one graph, but makes a mess of
the y-axis.

There must be a more elegant solution.

Also, I wonder why the final series (series 3) doesn't plot until I
manually hit <enter>?

Thanks for any help, Mark

Hi, Mark,

In general, see ?lines. However, your use of "ci.type" suggests
you're
using ?plot.acf, which may require you describe what you are trying to 
do in more detail.

Thanks,
