Well, that is the question I raised.  How should this behave?  I 
certainly could have programmed it either way.  I wasn't certain which 
way would be better at the time, but now I'm feeling that not attaching 
the XID to a plot number is better.  (Still not completely sure of that, 
however.)

I guess this boils down to the following:  Should there be multiple ways 
to access the same plot window, i.e., either via # or via XID?  Or, should 
there be only one way to access a window?  My gut tells me the latter is 
better.  I could be convinced otherwise.
