[R] y-label on right hand side of plot

Is there a better way than:


par(mar=c(6,6,6,6))
plot(1:10,yaxt="n",ylab="")
axis(4)
text(12,5.5,'y-label',xpd=T,srt=90)


to get the y-ticks _and_ the y-label to the rhs of the plot? I did not 
find anything in the  'par', 'plot', 'axis' and 'title' manpages to 
solve the problem. (the above is ugly, because one needs to hardcode the 
   text position or needs to calculate it 'manually' from par('usr'). it 
would be much nicer, if there were a flag to 'title' controlling were 
the labels occur).

thanks
joerg
