Oh, dear. I think it is time for an intervention. Here, I
came up with this in less than a minute:

!P.MULTI=[0,1,2]
Plot, Findgen(101), YTITLE="", XTitle='Stuff'
ytop = !Y.Window[0]
Plot, Findgen(10), YTITLE="", XTitle='More Stuff'
ybot = !Y.Window[1]
XYOuts, !X.Window[0]-0.05, (ytop-ybot)/2 + ybot, $
'The Y Title', Alignment=0.5, Orientation=90, /Normal
!P.MULTI=0

Cheers,

David
