[R-sig-Geo] Line colours when plotting SpatialPolygons

[Rob Robinson]

OK, I give up! I am trying to plot a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame (actually a
part of a world map with simple country outlines). For presentational
reasons I would like these outlines to be something other than black. I can
easily change line width etc, but can't figure out the plot argument to
change the colour. All the documentation I have looked at implies "col="
ought to do it, but this sets the foreground fill colour. What have I
missed?
Many thanks for any pointers
Best wishes
rob
