I'm not entirely sure of what you mean, but I think that changing
to 'plots' should do what you want. If neccessary you might
want to use 'oplot' to drop symbols on the data points, I have
to confess I have used 'plots' only once before so my memory is
a little hazy.

Lionel,
What about using a normal PLOT to draw the line, and then OPLOT with the
PSYK keyword set to draw the tick marks?
I cannot test this here at home, but this hould work, shouldn't it?
