Subject: Position of y axis labels in plot graphic

Thanks a lot to everyone who gave my me advice.
Btw, the most elegant solution came from a German R user who "simply" extended the plot.zoo function by the parameter line (ie the distance of the y labels from the y axis).
Here the URL of his posting and the code, unfortunately his comments are written in German only:

Thanks again,
Nico
