Humm, probably not enough room for the title. The outside
margins of a multiple-plot page are controlled by the
![XYZ].OMARGIN system variables. These system variables
use that ol' favorite, *character* units, as the unit of
measure.

Try something like this:

!Y.OMARGIN=[2, 10]
!P.MULTI = [0, 2, 3]
FOR j = 0, 5 DO PLOT, FINDGEN(11)
XYOUTS, 0.5, 0.93, ALIGN=0.5, CHARSIZE=2.0, /NORMAL, $
'This is the plot title'

This works for me.
