 Hi,
   is there a way to plot distribution curves (say normal or chi sq
   etc)
 from within R?
 
 For example I looked up the *chisq family of functions but I'm not
 sure as to how I would use them to generate a plot of the chi sq
 distribution (for arbitrary d.o.f).

Something like that

plot(seq(-3,3,.1),dnorm(seq(-3,3,.1)),type=l)
plot(seq(0,20,.1),dchisq(seq(0,20,.1),5),type=l)


 
 Thanks,

 Did you hear that two rabbits escaped from the zoo and so far they
 have only recaptured 116 of them?

Or using curve (see ?curve)

curve(dnorm(x,1,2),-4,6)
curve(dchisq(x,5),0,20)

Perhaps it is easier to use 'curve'

curve(dnorm, from = -3, to = 3)
curve(dchisq(x,df=5), from = 0, to = 20)
