I'm using S-Plus 8.1.1 in Windows XP Pro and I would like to get the old-fashioned notched boxplots. The following command produces a boxplot with notches,

boxplot(lottery.payoff, lottery2.payoff, lottery3.payoff, style.bxp="old", confint=T)

however, the shading for the confidence interval covers the whole width of each box, rather than staying within the notches.

I also get a warning "-1 is not a valid color name ... "

I can live with the warning ... and of course I could go back and use S-Plus 2000 ... but it would be cleaner if a fix exists?

Thanks in advance!
