Apologies in advance if I misinterpret " R console insists that I retype ..." but actually makes more sense (than sourcing a script) to use the group argument (see the last example in ?qqmath) as in 4 groups in each of 30 panels, or allow.multiple=T, outer=T if you really want separate panels for each transformation. Also can use layout=c(1,1,120) if you need each in a separate page - or say c(3,2,20) for 20 pages of 6 panels each, etc. Regarding your script, there is a syntax error: > However, R appears to not see that the first line does not terminate the > command and the following lines are continuations.

You want ...main = ' Silver (Untransformed) ' , Personally I find using spaces whenever possible helps me avoid this type of syntax error (which is the most frustrating...)
