R help - Oct 2010 - A problem about nomogram--thank you for you help

dear professor:
I am a doctor of urinary,and I am developing a nomogram of bladder tumor.Now I
have a problem about this.
I have got the result like this through analysing the dataset
"exp11.sav" through multinominal logistic regression by SPSS 17.0.(the
Sig. is high,that is good ,it is just aexperimental data )

Parameter Estimates

Ya

B

Std. Error

Wald

df

Sig.

Exp(B)

95% Confidence Interval for Exp(B)

Lower Bound

Upper Bound

Intercept

-1.338

.595

T.Grade

a. The reference category is: 0.

 
And after that,I want to develop the nomogram through R-Project.
And
I load the package "rms"
 
> T.Grade<-factor(0:3,labels=c("G0", "G1",
"G2","G3"))
> Sex<-factor(0:1,labels=c("F","M"))
> Smoking<-factor(0:1,labels=c("No","yes"))
> L<-0.559T.Grade-0.896Smoking+0.92Sex-1.338      # error  (??:
???????;error:it is not fit the non-function)
 
The R-project index that the last program error.
 
can you tell me where is the mistake.and how to get the correct equation .
 
thank you for you help! 
And I an sorry about my poor english!
 
                                                                                
truly yours

Firstly, `*` is the multiplication operator in R.  Secondly, you'll
need to convert your factors to numerics:

L<-0.559*as.numeric(T.Grade)-0.896*as.numeric(Smoking)+0.92*as.numeric(Sex)-1.338

Cheers,

Jeff.

Please take the time to study the subject matter, and note that a nomogram is
just a graphical method.  It is not a statistical model or a process.
