You would construct a dataset that had selected combinations of x1 and  
x2 and then plot the "response".

It's been a couple of years since I used Design. Harrell migrated to  
lattice plots when he upgraded to 'rms' and changed the Predict/plot  
interface a bit. In the new version it might  something like  
plot(predict(f, x1=seq( ...), x2=c(1,2), type= "fitted"), deopending  
on teh data arrangement.  Why don't you look more closely at the help  
page for `lrm` and work through the examples. At least in the current  
'rms' version there is more than one worked example, and I'm pretty  
sure there were one in Design before that.
