So one can merely add xthick = 2 (say) to the plot command:
plot, x, y, xthick = 2 (or 3, or whatever you like)....

There is also !x.thick and !y.thick and these do (did the last time I
used them) work with axis.

This should probably be in the FAQ. It's a bit confusing to the uninitiated.
In addition to !P.THICK there are also the following keywords which control
the thickness of various things in IDL:
!X.THICK
!Y.THICK
!P.CHARTHICK
