maya: scale z and x, not y?

rooster

this should be a simple one hopefully, but I can't see how you go about it. I have some verts on a model I want scaled the same ammount in z and x but not in y at all. The scale tool only lets me select one axis at a time, or all- how would you go about just using two? Someone suggested locking the y scale axis of the object but this is sub object transformation so that didn't do it.
How would you do it?

You can hold Ctrl and click-drag on the scale axis you "DON'T" want to move. Then it will scale just the other 2.

Also don't forget you can move the pivot point of the selected vertices by holding d and then snapping to another vertex and scale out from there. You can even lock the pivot if you like by clickin the blue eyeball.
