If you are on Windows, this should work for you:

    plot(1:10, ylab="\211")

If you are on a Mac, "\344" might do the trick (can't check this myself
though).

On UNIX, I don't know how to display it on screen, but you can produce
postscript and/or pdf output by specifying Windows encoding and using
the example above, i.e., something like ...

    postscript(encoding="WinAnsi.enc")
    plot(1:10, ylab="\211")
    dev.off()

Hope that helps.

Paul
