Hello,

I would like to show two different ListPlots together which have the same ordinates, but 
whose abscissa differ by orders of magnitude (They in fact have different units).  I would
ideally like one scale along the left side and another on the right.  Does anyone know of 
a package or trick to do this easily?

Here is a little code which illustrates the problem:
Plot[Sin[x],{x,-10,10}]  	(*Current, Amps, for example*)
Plot[100 Cos[x],{x,-1,10}]  	(*Voltage, milivolts*)
Show[%,%%] 			(*Can't look at them both on the same plot*)

Thanks in Advance,
-Tim
