Not surprising, since panel.abline doesn't actually have arguments
called 'from' and 'to'.

No, they do not. It is common to have many functions documented in one
help page, and you need to look at the usage section (near the top) to
figure out which arguments are releant for which functions. The help
page has:


Usage:

     panel.abline(a = NULL, b = 0,
                  h = NULL, v = NULL,
                  reg = NULL, coef = NULL,
                  col, col.line, lty, lwd, type,
                  ...)

     panel.curve(expr, from, to, n = 101,
                 curve.type = "l",
                 col, lty, lwd, type,
                 ...)

etc. If you want to limit the range, use panel.curve, e.g.

  panel.curve(0 + 1 * x,from=0,to=10)
