Frank,

I had already tried q=c(0.7,0.8,0.9,0.95) as an argument in plot.summary.Design and it did not work (i.e., CIs were not plotted).  Could you point me to an example using plot.summary.Design that uses q as argument and has output?  I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thanks.  Elizabeth

Using: Hmisc_3.6-0 and Design_2.2-0

 ## S3 method for class 'summary.Design':
     plot(x, at, log=FALSE,
         q=c(0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.95, 0.99), xlim, nbar, cex=1, nint=10,
         cex.c=.5, cex.t=1, clip=c(-1e30,1e30), main, ...)
