thanks everyone for the help.

I ended up copying and pasting the legend function from the R source files.
I changed it so that the title.cex is not set by default to cex and so that this title.cex can be given as a parameter.

It works fine for me.
Note that if you make the title too big it goes out of the border as the borders were not designed for the case of a big title.

Thanks again!!

I am not sure, but the manual regarding legend seems to be not correct (or at least misleading). There is not title.cex argument for legend (even though the help page mentions it). Either you set cex >1 but this will resize the labels as well. Or you modify the code of legend as follows:

change the following (near the end of the code):

           text2(left + w/2, top - ymax, labels = title, adj = c(0.5,
                0), cex = cex, col = title.col)

to:

           text2(left + w/2, top - ymax, labels = title, adj = c(0.5,
                0), cex = title.cex, col = title.col)

and add title.cex to the arguments of legend. Its probably easiest if you copy the code of legend and save its modified version within a different function.

Not sure on whom to contact regarding correcting the documentation of legend(). Perhaps even I am wrong, but I could not find any reference to title.cex in the code.
