Readers, Previous questions about this requirement have been for m$ users, my failure occurs using linux. I have tried to add the delta (?) symbol to the y axis label and the result is &D, using the command: ...ylab="?t"... Any advice please? rhelp at conference.jabber.org mandriva 2008 r 251 (27-06-07)
