[R] some pairs() questions

I'm sure it's possible to display the variable names by making a small
change to the code. Someone did this last week but I can't contact this
person now to ask how. I tried this

vars <- names(Rdata)
pairs(Rdata, labels=vars,...)

but that doesn't work (formal argument "labels" matched by multiple actual
arguments). Unfortunately I don't have the time right now to get to know new
packages and write new scripts...

Thanks
Pieter
