[R] Titles - main and subtitle won't plot with errbar

[David L Carlson]

You should contact the maintainer of package Hmisc:

Maintainer: Charles Dupont <charles.dupont at vanderbilt.edu>

As you note, it would not be difficult to use the titles() function to get
what you want or a plot command to set up but not plot data followed by the
errbar() with add=TRUE.
