Thanks, but the function still add a lines() to the the plot.
  Kond regards,

  Dear Øyvind Foshaug and Diethelm Wuertz:

ØYVIND:

Thanks for reporting this. Could you please try the revised function 
below? I changed three lines over the previous version

In case you are interested, I will outline here what I did to resolve 
this issue. First, I looked on the 'armaFit' help page for an example. 
Then I modified it in a way that successfully reproduced the error you 
reported:

xmpSeries("\nStart: Simulate an ARMA(2, 1) process > ")
x = armaSim(model = list(ar = c(0.5, -0.5), ma = 0.1), n = 1000)
Continue = xmpSeries("Press any key > ")
# Estimate the parameters:
fit = armaFit(x ~ arma(2, 1))
predict(fit, doplot=FALSE)

Error in predict.fARMA(fit, doplot = FALSE) :
object "npred" not found

If you list 'predict', you will see it primarily consists of a call 
to 'UseMethod'. The help page for 'UseMethod' says, "see also: 
methods". When I tried 'methods("predict")', I got a character vector 
of length 23, all beginning "predict.". This list included in 
particular, "predict.fARMA". I listed that, made a local copy, found 
where 'npred' is designed and used, and made two minor changes in 
'predict.fARMA'. After sourcing that, I got a different error, and I 
found an apparent patch for that.

Thanks again for reporting this problem.

DIETHELM:

Below please find a modification to your 'predict.fARMA' from fSeries 
221.10065. I made three changes marked by comments. Please let me know 
how you would like me to handle issues like this. Until I hear from you 
I will send them to you like this -- unless I find a caret "^", which 
might be eaten by certain email software.

You might consider adding a 'predict(fit, doplot=FALSE)' to the help 
page example section.

Best Wishes,
Spencer Graves
