Thank you everyone who contacted me so quickly!
I am posting the solution here, so that it is in the archive:

The returns() function in is the timeSeries package. However, one can
replace the "na.omit(returns(x[,2]))" bits below with any two vectors
of data.

After searching multiple combinations of keywords over the past two

Specifically, I am using the irf() function in the vars package to
generate plots of Impulse Response Functions:
> x.data <- cbind(na.omit(returns(p[,2])),na.omit(returns(n[,2])))
> colnames(x.data) <- c("p.ret","n.ret")
> x.jo <- ca.jo(x.data,type="trace",ecdet="none",spec="transitory")
> x.var <- vec2var(x.jo)
> x.irf <- irf(x.var,n.ahead=30)
> plot(x.irf)
This results in a plot containing a pair of IRF graphs in Quartz and
the following message in the Console:
"Hit <Return> to see next plot:"
When one hits <Return>, the next pair of IRF graphs appears in Quartz.
When I try to save the plots to PNG

I am able to save only one of the plots. How does one tell plot()
to plot first one of the panes and then the second?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yours,
