R help - Sep 2004 - greek letters for labelling axes

Hi,

Does anyone have any ideas on how to show greek letters on the x and y axes?

I have tried

 > plot(x,y, xlab=expression(delta), ylab=expression(gamma))

but the output on the x-axis is "d" and on the y-axis it is
"g".

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Sam.

Which device, which version of R, which OS? Please specify a 
reproducible example. Works for me in all configurations I can imagine ...
