Thanks to Andy for this suggestion, which basically works
in that it generates the requisite array of histograms.

And I'm also grateful for being thereby forced to look more
closely into this aspect of R programming, which was useful
and instructive!

However, using Andy's method I'm still having trouble getting
the histograms labelled etc as I would like, which is why I'm
also interested in Thomas Lumley's suggestion:

for which also thanks. However, where is it? It doesn't seem
to be part of R-1.3 which I have just downloaded, and I can't
seem to find any mention of "lattice" on CRAN.

Thanks,
Ted.
