Yahsi-
That is one function that they should definitely include. But they don't.
So here's one for two functions. It will take some tailoring to get the
best output and the programming isn't too pretty, but it works.

f2 will be plotted on the right -

Hi,
I have a question regarding the plot. Suppose that you have two separate
functions and you would like to plot them on the same graph. Both are not
so
scaled to plot it using the single y axis. Sometimes we need to draw the
plots of two functions (f1 and f2) on two separate y axis (one is on the
left as usual and the other on the right). This features are common even
very primitive versions of the graph programs such as grapher and excel. I
am not able to figure out how to do this in Mathematica.
Thanks for your replies in advance.
