you can use title() with the sub argument,

title(sub="x label", outer=T) # you might want to play around with line argument

Create an outer margin (see ?par), then use mtext to put the title in the outer margin.

Sorry for taking that long to reply...

I created an outer margin with

 par(oma = c (0, 2, 0, 0))

and then did

 par(mfrow = c(2, 1))
 plot(...)
 plot(...)
 mtext("title 1", side = 2, outer = T)

With that, the text "title 1" appears to the left of the second plot,
and not to the left of both plots, centered between them, which is what
I was trying to do. Is there a way to accomplish that (without manual
text positioning, that is)?

Thanks,
Andre
