I have tried to find a command to fit(plot) a regression line but I
haven't found any command on the html.help.  My question is if I am
using a regression for instance reg<-lm(y~x) and I would like to
make a regression line, to see how well my data is fit.  Can you
please help me with this??

A simple linear regression line can be added to a plot with abline.
For more complicated models, you should generate a sequence of x
values at which you wish to evaluate the model and use the predict
method to get the y values.

The simple case looks like

 plot( y ~ x )
 fm <- lm( y ~ x)
 abline( fm )
