Thanks again. I guess I have been fitting in splus gui and in R Commander, not 
really calling it myself. I was thinking maybe there was a way to define it as 
a class or something.

I will have to look at segments. Any thoughts if this might be easy to use with 
years on an axis?

Okay, you're using abline() for the KT line.
But I still don't know what you're after.
 From your original post:

   Is there a way to make it appear like a regression fit instead
   of a line that extends from the edges of the plot? I would like
   to have the OLS appear as a dotted line and the KT a solid line
   but as it is the KT line is longer.

So how are plotting your 'regression fit'?
abline( lm( y ~ x ) ) would also extend across the plot.
I suppose that you could use segments() with the
range of x-values.

BTW, here's a shorter version of your code:

  yy <- outer(y, y, "-")
  xx <- outer(x, x, "-")
  z  <- yy / xx
  s  <- z[lower.tri(z)]
  slope <- median(s)
  intercept <- median(y) - slope * median(x)
