R help - Sep 2010 - how to change the xlab name?

I simply put,  plot(density(XXXX), main="XXXX", + xlab =
"XXX"), it says that
I have an unexpected "=" in it.

You just have an extra ' + ' before the xlab argument:

plot(density(rnorm(100)), main = "XXXX", xlab = "XXX")

ought to do it.

It may be a case of a confused parser. You have an extraneous "+" in  
there:

 > XXXX = rnorm(100)
 > plot(density(XXXX), main="XXXX",  xlab = "XXX")  #
"works"

If on the other hand you wanted to construct a more complex title then  
you will probably need to read the expression and bquote help pages  
and submit a more descriptive problem statement.
