[R] xyplot: problems with column names & legend

[Jay]

Thanks, the backtickes got the code working. However, now I cant get
it to draw the legend/key.
For example, look at this figure: http://osiris.sunderland.ac.uk/~cs0her/Statistics/xyplot5.png
My graph is similar, but instead of 1,2,...,8 as the names of the
series I want it to say "Data one" (a string with spaces) and so on.
