Hi,

I agree it would be a worthwhile change. Since the way the colours come  
out always seems semi random anyway I dont think it will cause backwards  
compatability issues. Anywhere where colours are important they will  
require to be specified directly in the plot command.

BTW T.L. , that is probably the easiest solution for you and your  
colleges. Check out help plot if you are not aware of how to set colours  
for each line.

This relates to one issue I have already raised, that of having more  
consistant output colours in the various terminals. While some terminals  
will have resistrictions it seems that there is no relation between the  
default colours used by wx or x11 and , say, svg or png output.

regards, Peter.
