R help - May 2011 - Superscript number before letter

Salut,
I have been struggling to superscript the 18 before the O without ^ visible
and found only help to superscript numbers after the letter. Thanks to
anyone who can help.
xlab=expression(delta*18O VSMOW [?]")
Cheers,
Janine

Dos this do what you want?

plot(1:10, xlab=expression(delta*{}^18*"O" * " VSMOW [‰]"))

The specific is to put an empty item there to hold the superscript.
