R help - Feb 2003 - legend

I think I'm missing something tonight in the usage of 'legend':

plot(0, type="n")
legend(locator(1), month.abb[1:5], pch=15, col=1:5)

gives me something similar to what I want. But

legend(locator(1), month.abb[1:5], fill=T, col=1:5)

gives me 5 black boxes.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,

Try:

legend(locator(1), month.abb[1:5], fill=1:5)

The "T" is interpreted as (equal to?) a "1", so you're
requesting the
boxes to be filled with color 1, which is black.

Try:

legend(locator(1), month.abb[1:5], fill=1:5)

'col' takes care of the color of points and lines.
