urgh! For some reason, I *always* forget about this, even though I have it
installed...I've been dragging my heels for two days setting up my axis
labels correctly. Thanks for the mental push :)

If you know LaTeX, you can use the TeXtoIDL package (search Google for
it). Otherwise, you have to use embedded formatting commands. Go to
"fonts" -> "positioning commands" in the IDL help index. For example,
IDL> plot, findgen(10), title='x!e2!x'
produces what you where asking for.
Good luck,
Benjamin
