Thanks - this helped.  I can now graph what I want but am still having
trouble calculating the AUC.

I am trying to use Roger Newson's somersd package for this, using the
c transformation option.  I receive the following error:

       tidotforsomersd():  3499  tidottree() not found
                 <istmt>:     -  function returned error

Any suggestions?
