As a work-around, this is definitely the easiest location to point to in 
data coordinates, since the block's anchor is set on its lower left 
corner: If your x and y axes are not reversed, the following should work:
db = gca().data_bounds; // in Scilab 6, or  ax = gca(); db = 
ax.data_bounds; // in Scilab 5
xstring(db(1), db(3), ...)
