Be that as it may, if you are going to use R you should learn something 
about using R, rather than treating it as a magical black box.

There is, as far as I know (not really very far!) no currently existing 
function to "draw the confidence intervals".  (Well, actually there is 
probably one out there somewhere.  There is so *much* out there.  But 
finding it is probably more effort than rolling your own.)

It is actually very easy to roll your own --- I think I could do it in 5 
or 10 minutes.  But I am *NOT* going to.  (a) I am not going to do your 
work for you, even if it's not homework, and (b) you will *learn* 
something by figuring out how to do it yourself.

Hint:  Read up on the functions lines() and segments().  And maybe 
arrows().  The function abline() might be of use as well.

cheers,

Rolf Turner
