The abline function is part of base graphics (read the help ?abline... it is part of the "graphics" package).
The xyplot function is part of the lattice package... a clone of the original "trellis" package from the S software. The two approaches to graphics don't play well together. Once you know to keep this distinction in mind, you can probably find examples on the web, such as [1], or in help files such as ?panel.abline.
