Thanks but that's not quite what I meant
I am trying out different functions and they don't necessarily vary in a
regular way (like say all being powers of x where it'd be simple to just
have a vector for the powers you want)
So I might have
y<-x^2
y<-cos(x)
y<-exp(x+1)
What I am after is a way of running these functions and then calling each one
into the labelling for the appropriate graph as I plot it. So then I would have
something like
mainlab<-paste("Plot of ",function in question)
...? Thanks Nick

... and if you wanted too streamline the process, something like the
following could be encapsulated in a function:
fun <- quote(exp(x))
z <- 1:9
y <- eval(fun,list(x = z) )
plot(x, y, main = paste("Plot of y =", deparse(fun)))
Further details can be found in the "Computing on the Language"
section of
the "R Language Reference" manual or from suitable tutorials on the
web.

Thanks Bert, that is exactly what I wanted. I think that you meant plot(z,y... in the last line?
