Cheers for the quick reply. However, I found when I used las that although
it changed the orientation of the axis labels (ie the numbers on the axis
tickmarks), it didn't change the orientation of the x- and y axis titles,
ie the expressions which I passed to xlab and ylab with the plot command:
 
plot(alpha,sigma,xlab=expression(alpha),ylab=expression(sigma))

Cheers,
	Rob.
