ylim doesn't work in boxplots?

I want to leave a little extra room at the bottom for a legend in a box

but I find that the boxplot function ignores ylim. Is there any way around
this? Thanks.

Eh? I can't reproduce that in neither 1.1.1 nor 1.2pre.

Actually, I'm producing the box plot numbers in boxplot() and then drawing the
plot with bxp. The help says graphical parameters can be entered as a list
(pars) or the regular way (...). When I just put in ylim=c(somenumber,
anothernumber) in bxp() the y axis is unchanged. From looking at the source
code, it looks like it should work, but....
I don't know how to use pars. I tried pars=, pars(), but those gave me error
messages.
