Thanks Reimar. I kinda figured that was going to be the answer. While
the problems is one of "only" remembering values, the number
of values changed, and how they are changed, is interactve with the
user of the program so I'll have to set up some more variables to do
all the remembering. <sigh>

Dear David,
Normally it is not possible to plot to windows and ps files.
There was a patch from Craig for a previous idl version which could do this.
If the only problem you have is to remember the values you changed it is
easier to write a routine instead of doing all interactive.
You could add a keyword e.g. ps then calling your_routine,/ps would
write the ps file otherwise the screen is used.
