[R] plot zoo custom panel help

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Please clarify what the problem is.  If its the lack
of content in the plot that was already addressed.
You mention ylim but its not clear what your
comment refers to since the plot command does
not use ylim.

Also make sure you are using the latest version of zoo
and identify the version in your posts and, in general,
read the last line of every message to r-help and read the
posting guide.  Also, it would be appreciated
if you follow up on past advice in the thread prior to
reposting.
