Hello-

It's late and I cannot find a solution to my problem anywhere. Can anyone
tell me how to display the Greek symbol sigma on a barplot using text(),
i.e., how to reference the character in the font set? I can successfully
use the GUI to insert the character I want, but I am writing a plotting
function and would like a "cleaner" solution. Through GUI I can use the
following string:

guiCreate( "CommentDate", ..., paste("\\\"Symbol\"s\\\"Arial\"[2]=", ...)

Thanks in advance for any help.
