Thank you David. The plot from Design package will draw a plot of survival
probability at 5 years (in my example) versus different age. I will look into
Predict() in rms package to see how this can be done.

I don't remember what that would have done in Design and you have not explained
what you expected. You should read the rms help page for cph and walk through
the examples where ht euse of the Predict function is illustrated. The plotting
support for Predict objects is excellent.
