They do when called from a script running directly. It's calling the
script file from source() that gives the problem.
You haven't actually asked for anything to be plotted! xyplot returns a
plottable object, which when *printed* is plotted. Auto-printing works at
the top level in R, but not inside source. You need to wrap your lattice
calls in print().

And that is `running the script'.
