  par(new=TRUE) will do this but probably isn't what you want unless you
set xlim and ylim so that the graphs are on exactly the same scale. It
might be better to save the output from the two hist() calls and
then use

x <- rnorm(100)
y <- rnorm(100)
h <- hist(x,xlim=c(-3,3),ylim=c(0,20),
        breaks=seq(-3,3,length=30),col="blue")
par(new=TRUE)
hist(y,xlim=c(-3,3),ylim=c(0,20),breaks=h$breaks,ann=FALSE,col="red")

but it might be better to use barplot() to put the histograms side by
side:

barplot(rbind(h$counts,h2$counts),beside=TRUE)

  In the newer versions of R hist() is a little bit more flexible,
returning an object of type "histogram": eventually it might be worth
writing a "multihist" type as well, since this comparison of distributions
is something that people want to do a lot in exploratory data analysis.
