Dear David and Joanne, David, thank you for answering Joanne's question before I saw it.
The help page for car::scatterplot() is also accessible via the Help button in the Rcmdr scatterplot dialog. I'll think about whether to add a control for legend position to the scatterplot dialog. There are already some enhancements to the dialog in the forthcoming version 2.2-0 of the Rcmdr package, due late this summer, but I try not to make the dialogs too complicated.
