Well, you could build the string as ['1' char(215) '10^{-4}'] but if
really want the extreme of actually doing so I'd recommend you use the
\times Tex character sequence.

As noted earlier, read the documentation on text() and the subsequent
examples on annotation of graphs and about TeX if you're going to be
doing this kind of thing; you can find out all there is to be done
faster that way than waiting around for somebody at cs-sm to bail you out...

well&#65292;that's a good idea. Thanks

And, of course, as another corollary lesson, try

strrep('1x10^{-4}', char(215))

or

strrep('1x10^{-4}', '\times')

at the command line followed by

help strfun

for the more generic "how do I ..." re: string manipulations and

help iofun

for the universe that includes the earlier-noted sprintf() and friends...
