The SAVE command might be useful.  In the past I used "save 
x11-fig-NN.cmd", then moved on to
my other plots.  When I wanted window NN I could use a "load 
x11-fig-NN.cmd" to get the window back.
I would wrap this procedure in a OPEN-FIGURE command that would do all 
the book-keeping for me.  See
below example.

Hope this helps.
