Thanks I was able to find it in the help doc.

x <- c(1,2,4,6,8,9,10,12,13,14,18,20)
y <- c(4,5,3,6,7,4,8,9,12,4,7,5)

mydata <- data.frame(x,y)

plot(mydata)
rect(5,0,8,8, col=rgb(0,1,0,alpha=0.2), border=F)

Alpha is part of the colour spec.  For example,

rect(110, 300, 175, 350, density = 5, border = rgb("red")


rect(110, 300, 175, 350, density = 5, border = rgb(red=1, green=0, blue=0, 
alpha=0.1))

I'm not sure what is the quickest way to work out the rgb values for a named 
colour (col2rgb can do it, but not in a convenient format) if you want to add 
alpha to it.
