[R] Rmetrics fMultivar how to?

[Benedict P. Barszcz]

Hi Everybody,
I am a total beginner at this so please bear with me.
I downloaded by hand the file WIG20.txt (Warsaw Stock Exchange Index of 20 
most important stocks). The format is this:

Name,Date,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume 
WIG20,19940414,1000.00,1000.00,1000.00,1000.00,71600.000 
WIG20,19940418,1050.50,1050.50,1050.50,1050.50,99950.000 
WIG20,19940419,1124.90,1124.90,1124.90,1124.90,138059.000 
WIG20,19940421,1304.80,1304.80,1304.80,1304.80,154151.000 
WIG20,19940425,1350.10,1350.10,1350.10,1350.10,228438.000 
WIG20,19940426,1216.20,1216.20,1216.20,1216.20,16618.000 
WIG20,19940428,1096.70,1096.70,1096.70,1096.70,32685.000 
WIG20,19940505,1138.10,1138.10,1138.10,1138.10,113777.000 
WIG20,19940506,1077.60,1077.60,1077.60,1077.60,137910.000 
WIG20,19940509,1035.60,1035.60,1035.60,1035.60,97091.000

I read the data in with this command:

>tabelka = read.table("/home/kb2qzv/WIG20.txt",sep=",",header=TRUE)

And I can see that 'tabelka' has 2840 rows in it which is correct (this many 
sessions since the Exchange started operating).
Now I would like to utilize some of the functions available from RMetrics and 
see how useful they might be. I can image that one way to know this would be 
to plot a candlestick chart of the wig20 index and below it a TA indicator, 
like one of these:

macdTA      MACD Indicator
cdsTA     MACD Signal Line
cdoTA      MACD Oscillator
vohlTA High/Low Volatility

Trouble is there is no easy way (for me as a beginner) to start with.
Questions:
A) how to plot a candlestick chart with my data?
there seems to be no 'type=candlestick' parameter in plot() function.

B) how to create a second pane where an indicator can be drawn.

thanks for any answers or tips.
