Dear R helpers,

When producing a PCA biplot, vectors of environmental variables (as red arrows with labels) and scores of the observations (black labels (observation names)) are plotted by default. How can I change the graphical output? Let's say I would like that the scores are plottet only as symbols and not text. The only solution I found was this post in the help archive
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/help/06/12/7298.html
suggesting "cheating" like:
>biplot(test.pca, xlabs=c("0","0","0","0","0","0...
and using letters instead of symbols.
This works somehow, but I am still not able the change e.g. the colour or size of only the scores. Whatever I try to do with "col=...", "cex=..." and so on changes either all labels in the plot or none. Can someone tell me what is the trick to only modify either the environmental variables or the scores? Also e.g. the type of the arrow?

Thanks in advance,
Axel
