Just give yourself some more room for the plot. Add a POSITION
keyword:

> plot, x, y, yrange = [-90, 90], /ystyle, /xstyle, ytickformat = "(a1)", $
> title = title, xtitle = label, xrange = [0, 100], ticklen = -0.03, $
POSITION=[0.1, 0.15, 0.9, 0.9]

Plot, findgen(11), XStyle=8, YStyle=8 ; or 9 if you want exact ranges
Plots, [!X.CRange[1], !X.Crange[1]], [!Y.CRange[0], !Y.CRange[1]]
Plots, [!X.CRange[0], !X.Crange[1]], [!Y.CRange[1], !Y.CRange[1]]

Cheers,

David
