That is a strange one...  On the topic of plot window location, anyone 
else find it kind of irksome that a newly created plot window is always 
situated on top of the command line window and completely covering it? 
 I'd prefer it to be created as far away from the command line as 
possible, and not grab focus if not in "raise" mode.
