Gabor:

Actually, I meant a script GUI management of ugraph I managed to locate 
on the net.  Disregarding that, thank you for the suggestions.  igraph 
is definitly a non-trivial affair, with a lot of options and 
corresponding flexibility.  I made some changes to what you wrote:

A <- matrix(sample(c(-1, 0, 0, 0, 1), 25, replace=T), 5)
g <- graph.adjacency(A, mode="directed", weighted=T, diag=F)
E(g)$lty <- ifelse(E(g)$weight > 0, 1, 2)
tkplot (g, layout=layout.kamada.kawai)

This gives me something that is very close to what I want, apart from a 
suspicion that if the relations between two vertices is non-symmetric, 
only one of the is shown.  Is it possible to have a pair of, say 
slightly curved arrows as edges between them in that case?
