Sarah,
 
Thank you very much.  I apoligize for the way the code came through.  I'm not 
sure whay it was formatted that way.  
 
You were 100% correct about the lend=2.  Thank you.  I don't know why i didn't 
think to look at par.  I was thinking the argument had to be from segments.  It 
even says "... further graphical parameters (from par)" right in the help page 
for ?segments.  I apoligize for this oversight and appreciate your response 
anyway.
