[R] xyplot: logarithmic y-axis

Please take no offence since none was intended. What I meant is that it
should be simple for me to know how to do this but it isn't because of my
inexperience. I  think that the lattice package is great.

However, how can I pass on my own varaibles through xyplot?

Thanks, -Rene
