What I was hoping was that the command PlotRange -> PlotRange[p2]] does 
is set the PlotRange for the Show to that of p2- which is the plot of the 
data points.  If you remove the variables for the legend, the plot does 
what it is supposed to do- shows the theoretical curves and the data on 
one plot.  Well, it actually outputs two plots.  One with just the curves 
and below it one with the curves and the data plotted together.  But when 
the variables used to set the legend are included it messes everything up.

Just to be clear, p2 is a plot of some data points using MultipleListPlot 
and I am trying to add two theoretical curves to the plot.

Thanks,
Ryan
