To Paolo:
Your example shows exactly the problem I am talking about. Both axis
titles have their baselines on the right. My routine puts the baseline
on the left for the Y2 title.

To David:
You are certainly correct. You need to write the Y2TITLE command as a
procedure (comma, not parens). I had originally written it as a
function with the hope of finding a way of embedding it in a YTITLE
keyword. So the command should have read:

YTITLE, '5.0*COS(2!4p!3x/45 + 0.6)'

I have done some further testing, and so far it works with many ways I
apply a Y2 axis, including on a PostScript device.
