Question: Do you want 37 different panels with plots of quant vs. date

Dennis,

  I want only 2 chemicals per plot.

I'd suggest using subset() to select out the pair you want and then
redefine the param factor so that the subset data frame has two factor
levels instead of eight.

  Sure. I keep working with the original data set and haven't yet fully
learned to create subsets as needed.

Since there are several ways to interpret 'in which there are data', you
might want to expound a little further about your intentions in that
regard.

  What I mean that over all locations and chemicals the earliest date for
which there is data is 1980-03-01. However, some chemicals might not have
been required to be monitored before, say, 1990. If the pair in a given plot
have no data prior to 1990 (for example), that's what I want as the xlim.

Thanks,

Rich
