Emily,
You need to set the xpd parameter to TRUE (using par) and use a negative
value for the inset argument in the legend command. For example to place a
legend on the right,
legend("right",inset=c(-0.3,0),legend=somelegendvector)
See ?legend and play around with the values of inset to get an idea of how
it works.
