R help - Sep 2004 - changing default labels of axis in ts plots

Hi;
I'm in Spain and my locale and tz are the spanish one, and I'm using
plot()
with irregular time series. And I would like to change the default labels in 
x and y axis:

1) The labels of months in the x axis of the plots appear in Spanish -  
c("Enero,"Febrero",...) - and I would like them to appear in
English -
c("January","February",...) - without changing the locale
settings of my
computer.

2) Also, the labels refers to local time and I would like them to appear in 
UTC ("GMT") time.

I've tried, in several ways, to pass the format and timezone "GMT"
to the
plot, with no result.

Could these defaults be changed without a big effort?

Thanks and best regards

Javier G.

?locales in R, set TZ with Sys.putenv.  Your process does not have to have 
the same settings as `my computer'.
