R help - Jun 1999 - How to superimpose a histogram and density plot

NCSS has a nice plot of the histogram and density plot superimposed. The
S-PLUS 4 Guide to Statistics on page 45 suggests the following code for a
general purpose density plot for a vector named data

iqd <- summary(data)[5]-summary(data)[2]
plot(density(data,width=2*iqd),xlab="x",ylab="",type="l")

Is it possible to superimpose the density plot on a histogram produced with
hist()? I tried lines(density(data,width=2*iqd),type="l") but the
results
weren't satisfactory.

Thank you,

Peter B.
