[R] Subsetting within xyplot()

All,

I'm having problems w/ a simple attempt to subset an xyplot.

The first plot below is a plot of y versus x for certain values of a third
categorical variable z.  Now I'd like to further restrict this to certain
values of variable y.  Neither of the two attempts below work.  Any
suggestions much appreciated.  (note: I don't want to merely use ylim since
I have a loess plot and I want this to be calculated w/ the restricted
values).

Thanks,
David 




y = c( 0.4,  0.6, -0.1,  0.3,  0.3, -0.2,  0.7,  0.7,  0.2,  0.0,  0.9,
-0.1,  0.6, -1.1,  0.8, -1.0,  0.4,  0.1,  0.7, -0.2, -0.1, -0.1,  2.2,
0.7,  1.1,  0.2, -0.2, -0.9,  0.4,  0.1, -0.3, -0.4)
