R help - Feb 2008 - variable syntax problem

dear members,

i would like to write a variable in a plot title (main="") but i
don't
know the right syntax:(...i tried a lot of different ways without success.

here my example:

y=30
z=33
for (i in 10:length(tissue)) {
png(filename = tissues[i], width = 1024, height = 768, pointsize = 12, 
bg = "white")
gene.graph("ENSG00000115252", rma.affy, gps=list(1:3, y:z), 
type="mean-int", gp.col=c("red", "blue"),
by.order=TRUE,
scale.to.gene=FALSE, use.symbol=TRUE, use.mt=FALSE, *main="PDE1A 
(red=prostate, blue=tissues[i])"*, ylab="intensity / probeset", 
exon.y=1, exon.height=1, exon.bg.col="#c3c3c3", 
exon.bg.border.col="black", show.introns=TRUE)
y=y-3
z=z-3
dev.off() }

when i write main=tissues[i] the value is written right. but i would 
like to have an additional text...

thanks
paul

Exactly what do you mean by additional text?  Have you tried "paste"?
