Hi John and Paul,
I changed the 'pass' to a 'continue' and a different problem has revealed
itself. Now, in lieu of any plot window, I get a Windows dialog with title
'Windows Visual C++ Runtime Library'

and content

Runtime Error
Program C:\APPS\PYTHON23\PYTHONW.EXE
abnormal program termination

Clicking the OK then generates a page fault. This seems a bit nasty. When I
have time later today, I'll see what happens under Win2000 on my laptop. I
should probably try another backend too.
