At least on the Unix version of R-0.63.2 the las = 1 argument to par
does work, although the spacing of the result is perhaps not optimal.

Try the following in your version and see what happens.
 R> data(women)
 R> names(women)
 [1] "height" "weight"
 R> plot(weight ~ height, data = women, las = 1)

This appears to be a case where the documentation has lagged a bit
behind the code.

Dear friends. In the documentation for PAR it is specified that "las"
allowing turning axis labels away from default=parallel to axis is not
implemented. I need to make graphs with horizontal Y axis labels - how
to ?  I'm using win98.  Thank you in advance.  Sincerely yours

It *is* implemented, at least in 0.63.1 [SunOS 4.1.4].
   Have you tried it?
 
    par(las=0)
    plot(1:10,1:10)
    par(las=1)
    plot(1:10,1:10)
