Also, just in case it isn't clear, you need to set:

   res_at_tmYLMode = "Explicit"

The tmYLValues should be numerical values where you want tickmarks
to appear, and they must be in the same data space as your Y axis.

A small addition to Mike's two lines: this a trick I use if the labels
and values are the same:

  res_at_tmYLValues = (/100,200/)
  res_at_tmYLLabels = "" + res_at_tmYLalues

(Note that the values don't have to be floating point if they
can be represented by integers.) The syntax:

     "" + (/100,200/)

effectively converts the (/100,200/) to (/"100","200"/).
