A two-part question about box-percentile plots, bpplot(): (1) yaxt="n" doesn't seem to work (2) how to display mean values

Dear List, I have a two-part question related to bpplot(), a box-percentile plot function in the Hmisc package. Take the example given in the Help for bpplot(), for instance. (1) How does one set but not draw the y-axis? What I did was, bpplot(... , yaxt="n"), but that apparently does not work (though it works for boxplot()).
Try doing par(yaxt="n") before bpplot.
(2) How does one display the mean value of each variable inside each respective box-percentile box? The following is what I did but to no avail:
bpplot(x1, x2, x3) points(1:1, mean(x1), pch = "1") points(1:1, mean(x2), pch = "2") points(1:1, mean(x3), pch = "3")
w <- bpplot(x1, x2, x3) points(w[1],mean(x1)) points(w[2],mean(x2)) etc. Better may be to use bwplot(..., panel=panel.bpplot) which shows the mean automatically with a dot. By default it doesn't show all the percentiles. Frank
