[R] Lattice: regression lines within grouped xyplot panels

Dear community,

I am looking for a possibility to draw 'regression lines' instead of 
'smooth' lines in grouped xyplots. The following code should give you a 
small example of the data structure.


library(lattice)
data(Gcsemv, package = "mlmRev")

# Creates artificial grouping variable ...
Gcsemv$Groups <-
   ifelse(as.numeric(as.character(Gcsemv$school))>65000,
          "Group1", "Group2")

xyplot(written ~ course | gender, data = Gcsemv,
        type = c("g", "p", "smooth"),
        groups = Groups,
        panel = function(x, y, ...) {
          panel.xyplot(x, y, ...)
# Here I want to draw the regression lines
#         panel.abline(x, y)
        },
        auto.key = list(space = 'right'))


I tried some variations like 'lm(y~x)' inside panel.abline() but had no 
success. Also googling around and reading in Deepayan Sakars interesting 
new book gave me no hints.

Is there any chance of displaying regression lines (instead of smooth 
function) within grouped panels? Or am I entirely wrong with this?

Thanks in advance,
Rainer Hurling
