See text().  You might have to add a constant to have the text
_next to_ the symbols.  If you want to _replace_ the symbols, you
can use type="n" in plot(), then use text() in the next command.
Here is an example of the latter that I found in one of my own
files:

plot(vmtable[1:2,],type="n");text(vmtable[1:2,],cases)

Here "cases" is a vector with the names I want plotted.
