I don't see why you think par(mfcol=c(3,3)) isn't working.  If you want 
your plots all in one device, that's one way to do it.  (There are 
others, but I don't know what you dislike about this one, so I don't 
know which ones would be any better.)

About a month ago I posted code to use locator() to determine which cell 
someone clicked on.  You can see that code here:
