So the plotting section with the requested modifications for the  
plotting character parameter would be:

# plot observed and predicted values supine and upright in
# each plot type (linear and smi-log)

# Need upright in same plots (e.g., dashed line)
par(cex.lab=1.2,cex.axis=1.3)
times <- seq(0,20, len=100)
par(cex.lab=1.2,cex.axis=1.3)
par(mfrow=c(2,1))
plot(c(datasu$concsu, dataup$concup) ~ c(datasu$time, dataup$time),  
xlab =
"Time (minutes)",
     ylab = "3H-NE (dpm/ml)", main="3H-NE Post-infusion Plasma  
Disappearance
Curves", ylim=c(0,1000),cex=1.25, pch=c(rep(2,length(datasu$concsu)),  
rep(17,length(datasu$concsu)) ), col=1)

lines(times, predictionssu(fit.wt.su, times))
lines(times, predictionsup(fit.wt.up, times), lty = "dashed")

plot(c(datasu$concsu, dataup$concup) ~ c(datasu$time, dataup$time),  
xlab =
"Time (minutes)",
     ylab = "3H-NE (dpm/ml)", log = "y", ylim=c(1,1000),cex=1.25,
pch=c(rep(2,length(datasu$concsu)), rep(17,length(datasu 
$concsu)) ),col=1);lines(times, predictionssu(fit.wt.su, times))
lines(times, predictionsup(fit.wt.up, times), lty = "dashed")
