multifigure question

I would like to put three figures next to each other in
a figure. I have been reading the introduction to R, 
section 12 several times now, and I still can't make heads
or tails out of it.

Lets say that I have three dataframes a, b, c, and I want
to plot a$V1, b$V1 and c$V1 in separate plots simply using
plot(), how do I put them next to each other?

I am sorry if this is a FAQ, but I cannot understand what
it says in the guide and the wonderful google couldn't 
turn up anything helpful either...:)
