Normally when you set up a multiplot window:
!P.Multi = [0, 6, 6]
IDL calculates the size of the plots based on the entire
window. What you want to do is save some room at the top
for a title for the entire window. You do this with the
!Y.OMargin (Y Outside Margin) system variable. Margins,
you recall, are set in *character* units, so this code
is not completely machine portable (you have to experiment
a little), but I have had success with something like this:
!Y.OMargin = [2, 4]
!P.Multi = [0, 6, 6]
For j=0,35 DO Plotting(j)
XYOutS, 0.5, 0.9, /Normal, 'Plot Title', Size=2, Align=0.5
Cheers,
David

Try:
!P.MULTI = [6*6,6,6] ; the !P.MULTI[0L] = 6*6 tells IDL that there
; are still 6*6 plots to be done so the next plot will not
; erase the window. If !P.MULTI[0L] = 0, IDL erases the
; window before the first plot.
