[R] Arrowheads at line-ends

Hi,
I'm quite new to R and I'm trying to do a simple plot with two lines,
one upper and one lower. The problem is that the lines are reaching
limiting values at x=0 for the upper line and x=1 for the lower.
Thus, they are undefined at that values. I would like to indicate
that with arrowheads. So I want a arrowhead at the left end of the
upper line and a one at the right end at the lower line. I've managed
to do this "manually" by drawing them with arrows, but this solution
appears too be quite inflexible.
So my question to the more experienced R-users out there is if there
is a smarter way to do this? Is there, for instance, any graphing
property that automaticly insert arrowheads?
Here's the code of my "manual" solution:
xA <- c(0.0000,0.0968,0.2340,0.4645,0.6115,0.8890,1.0000)
Va <- c(69.016,69.769,70.775,72.456,73.280,73.564,73.921)
Vb <- c(18.020,17.822,17.480,16.897,16.277,13.833,13.101)
plot(c(0,1), c(10,80),
type="n",
xlab=expression(x[aceton]),
ylab="Partielt molart volum",
bty="o",
xaxs="i", yaxs="i",
xaxp=c(0,1,10),
yaxp=c(10,80,20),
penel.first = grid(20,20,lty=1)
)
points(xA[2:7],Va[2:7], type="o", col="blue",pch=5,lend=1)
points(xA[1:6],Vb[1:6], type="o", col="darkgreen",pch=5)
arrows(xA[2],Va[2],xA[1],Va[1],col="blue")
arrows(xA[6],Vb[6],xA[7],Vb[7],col="darkgreen")
