Jim, I just checked your help out and everything works fine except the axis
labels,  I should probably have been more specific.  I had already been able
to draw the rownames() as labels, what I was looking for was the capacity to
define major ticks, and hence draw only every nth rowname on the graph as a
label with a tickmark... is this possible?
