Hi perplexed:

Yahoo! has a very nice, free service of this sort. 

Yahoo! Finance
URL: http://finance.yahoo.com/

To get the stock price graph for IBM for the last year, you could
enter "IBM" Enter Symbol(s) box at the top of the page and then
navigate to the large graph, or simply go to:

IBM - Large Graph page
URL: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=IBM&t=1y&l=on&z=l&q=l&c=

You can control the range of the dates show with the "Range" parameter
at the top left of the graph.

As for international exchanges, the following page lists all the
exchanges that Yahoo! supports and their exchange suffixes:

Yahoo! Finance - Exchanges
URL: http://finance.yahoo.com/exchanges

(Note that Japanese exchanges are not supported.) 

So, If you wanted to look up the chart for the Basic Group (symbol=BG)
on the London exchange (suffix=.L), then the link would be:

BG Group PLC (BG.L)
URL: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=BG.L&t=1y&l=on&z=l&q=l&c=

The only difference is in the value of the "s=" parameter in the URL. 

Please let me know if this is sufficient as an answer.
