Since this discussion is going on, I thought I'd toss in something I sent
to the list previously, which is the capability to append plots to an
existing file.  Would that be difficult?  The "set output" etc. enables
putting several plots in one file, but not openning an existing file and
then adding.  Perhaps this would be too difficult because there might be =
a
"footer" at the end of the existing file that would need to be removed.
