I have two questions related to plotting predicted values for a linear mixed model using xyplot:

1: With a groups= argument, I can't seem to get the key to appear inside the xyplot. (I have the Lattice book,
but don't find an example that actually does this.)
2: With lme(), how can I generate confidence bands or prediction intervals around the fitted values? Once I get them, I'd like to add them to the plot.
Example:

library(nlme)
library(lattice)
Ortho <- Orthodont
Ortho$year <- Ortho$year - 8  # make intercept = initial status

Ortho.mix1 <- lme(distance ~ year * Sex, data=Ortho,
       random = ~ 1 + year | Subject, method="ML",
#        correlation = corAR1 (form = ~ 1 | Subject)
       )
Ortho.mix1

# predicted values
grid <- expand.grid(year=0:6, Sex=c("Male", "Female"))
grid$age <- grid$year+8  # plot vs. age
fm.mix1 <-cbind(grid, distance = predict(Ortho.mix1, newdata = grid, level=0))

xyplot(distance ~ age, data=fm.mix1, groups=Sex, type="b", pch=c(15,16), cex=1.2,
   auto.key=list(text=c("Male", "Female"), points = TRUE, x=8, y=26),
   main="Linear mixed model: predicted growth")

Can someone help?
