Colleagues
An easy question involving using the GUI interface in 4.5.

If I have a data frame, or a list of variables and I call:
boxplot(my.dtat.frame, names=c("list of names in dataframe")), I will 
obtain a set of Box & whisker plots on the same graph, each labeled 
by the entry in names. Excellent.

Question: I cannot figure out how to do this in the GUI interface 
using the drop menus.
I would like to be able to use the menus as I am embedding S-Plus in 
my undergraduate text book and wish to keep matters as simple as 
possible with as few explanations as I can get away with; otherwise I 
would stick to the command line.

In anticipation of a blizzard of replies, I thank you.
