RE: st: RE: time series plot with shaded bands

["MA V" <ma_v@hotmail.com>]

That works great! Thanks. I have another problem, though...
My data is annual but I would like to specify quarterly ranges for the 
shaded bands.
i.e. I want the time series plot to "connect the dots" for yearly 
observations but I want to specify a range that goes from Jan to March in a 
given year, for example.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
MA
