Yeah, I'm not sure I follow exactly what you are trying
to do, but it sounds a WHOLE lot more ambitious than
!P.MULTI was designed for. Are you trying to skip around
in your five pages of output? That will prove difficult,
for sure. But if you are writing your five pages of output
consecutively, I don't understand why you are having problems.
Are you trying to set !P.Multi up all at once for all five
pages? This won't work, as !P.Multi applies to a single
window.
If you want 10 plots in 5 windows, just set !P.Multi to write
two plots per window, and do them consecutively. IDL doesn't
care which variables you use in the plot.
Cheers,
David

In response to David's questions:
I am trying to plot to the different windows intermittently, not
consecutively. I am not trying to make 5 plots of the 10 items, I am
trying to make 5 plots of 7 different combinations of the 10 items:
such as plotting items #
1,2,3,4,5,6, 7
4,5,6,7,8,9,10
1,3,5,7,8,9,10
2,4,6,7,8,9,10
1,4,5,6,8,9,10
Instead of having to rerun the loop to calculate everything over again
or save everthing in variables, I just want to plot to different
windows intermittently.
thx so much for the help
