You need to make sure a graphics device is active and establish a
coordinate system there.  The easiest way to do that is to make a call
to plot() with everything turned off:

 plot(0:100,0:100,type='n',axes=FALSE,xlab="",ylab="")

You may also want to reduce the "margins" if you want your output to
take up the full frame, e.g.

 oldmargins <- par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
 plot(0:100,0:100,type='n',axes=FALSE,xlab="",ylab="")

 text(c(0,100,0,100),c(0,0,100,100),c('bottom left',
      'bottom right','top left','top right'))

 par(oldmargins)
