a greyscale image in photoshop only has one channel. . .

Copy grayscale image to an RGB's R channel.

well to be honest, i dont know if it is possible.
if you paste a greyscale image into an rgb docmunt, then everything that was black will be a process color. as in black will be composed of r, g, and blue dots. dig?
now i could easily be wrong, but i am thinking that there isnt really a perfect way to do it.
you can adjust hue/saturation (CTRL + U) and colorize it to pure red, but you still wind up with the same problem.
what exactly are you wanting to do this for? there may be an alternative if no one else knows how to do it.

Possible? I must have got this wrong somehow. Apple+C, then Apple+V with the red channel chosen - isnt it as simple as that?

jkob is right. you can also create spot channels by using the pulldown in the channels palette. if you are adding extra spot channels and sending the file out for print, you may want to save the file as a photoshop dcs file to ensure that the extra plate rips.
