R help - Apr 2012 - Rotating margin text

R 2.14.1
OS X

Colleagues,

I am making a graphic with two y-axes.  I create the label for the right-side
axis with:
	mtext(side=4, line=1, "Some text")
The label is rotated 90° counterclockwise.  I would prefer that it be rotated
90° clockwise.  However, srt is not supported for mtext and las does not offer
this option.  Is there some other means to rotate the text string?

Thanks in advance.

Dennis
