You need to look at ?legend. And you need to control the line type and 
color of the samples in your call to hist().

An example:

 > library(affydata)
 > data(Dilution)
 > hist(Dilution, col=1:4, lty=1)
 > legend("topright", inset = 0.01, legend = row.names(pData(Dilution)), 
col=1:4,lty=1)

Best,

Jim
