R help - Oct 2009 - Position of legend box

Good morning to you. I have about 4 different lines in one plot. I have used
legend to indicate the colour of each plot. But the box contain the legend
covers part of the lines thereby blurring the legend. There are some spaces
in the plot that are empty and large enough to accommodate the legend box.
If there a command I could use to set the position of the legend myself.
I added the legend using:
>legend(oo1$daymon[100],3600,c("2005","2006",2004","2003"),col=c(4,2,3,1),lty=1)
Thank you.

There are also facilities in  Harrell's Hmisc that do something similar:
