R-help list and interested parties, On Cross Validated mpiktas correctly noted that both the I() and rms Glm/Predict solution produce incorrect results (http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/6684/how-can-one-use-the-predict-function-on-a-lm-object-where-the-ivs-have-been-dynam/6718#6718). As far as I can tell, the short version is that both I and rms leave scale() in the formula for the lm object, so predict and Predict() run scale on the provided newdata prior to generating the actual prediction. So, for now, there appears no easy way to do this the way I hoped. Time for me to get down to writing functions.
