OK, this worked.  I have attached the test,png file that resulted.  But 
I don't quite know what this means ...

IDLE 1.2.1     
 >>> import matplotlib
 >>> matplotlib.use('Agg')
 >>> import pylab
 >>> pylab.plot([1,2,3])
[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance at 0x87cd56c>]
 >>> pylab.savefig('test.png')
 >>>

The other suggestion from Michael about using gdb will have to wait 
until I download, install and learn to use it, but if that's required, 
that's what I'll do.

Thanks
