Thread Subject: text in figures with subplots

I have a figure with 2x2 subplots and would like to add a text string outside of any of the 4 subplots.

How can I position this text; I always end up with the text in any one of the subplots.

Is it possible

one of the solutions

     subplot(2,2,1);
     plot(rand(10,1));
     ah=gca;
     axes('position',[0,0,1,1],'visible','off');
     text(.5,.25,'test');
     axes(ah);

A slightly modified version that provides additional
handles for greater control and flexibility:

   fig = figure;

   a(1) = subplot(2,2,1);
   p(1) = plot(rand(10,1));

   a(2) = subplot(2,2,2);
   p(2) = plot(rand(10,1));

   a(3) = subplot(2,2,3);
   p(3) = plot(rand(10,1));

   a(4) = subplot(2,2,4);
   p(4) = plot(rand(10,1));

   ax = axes('position',[0,0,1,1],'visible','off');
   tx = text(0.4,0.95,'This is the Header');
   set(tx,'fontweight','bold');
