Plotting three dimensional vectors

Good afternoon,

I am trying to visualize two simple vectors in three dimensions, and not 
having much luck. So I thought I would try to create a picture to help. 
I'm not having much luck there either.

I would like to create a plot of the two vectors x=(2, 4, 9) and y=(1, 
3, 5), and to display them both on the same graphic with the axis' 
displayed as well. I have searched through the manual, the help system, 
and the demos to no avail. There is a lot of information there, but with 
no starting point, I am just getting further confused.

If I'm not asking too much, it would be nice to display each vector in a 
different color, and to define the axis dimensions (in other words set 
the x-axis to -5 to 10, the y-axis to 0 to 10, and the z-axis to -10 to 10)

Thanks for any help,
Jerry
