I'm not going to solve the whole thing, but I think what you want
is matplot(m1,typ="l"), where m1 is a matrix made from your data
above.  (I think it would go like

390 396
416 421
406 415

but I might have it transposed.  I always ending up trying t(m1)
because I never remember which way it goes so I guess rather than
reading the help page.)  You might be able to get proper labels
by using colnames(x) and rownames(x).  After the plot, you can
use legend() to add a legend.
