That did it. Apparently I have not gotten to 'mapping' yet in the book!

Not exactly, Thierry, I wanted to change the line colours but your
solution has solved my next problem which was to make the points and the
lines have the same colours.
Thanks to both of you.
Next Question
How do I select colours rather than using the predetermined ones? I know that I
should, at least, be able to use RColorBrewer but I have not figured out how
yet.
Thanks again.
