Damn, I was reading the documentation so many times and still missed it.
Yes, they should make sure wrong keywords are caught. Plus, the direct
graphics PLOT routine takes /xlog and /ylog. Plus, the iPlot keywords
are quite inconsistent in whether or not they have the _ after XYZ.

That helps for now -- still it would be great if somebody could shine
some light on the problem of how to control it after the creation of the
iTool, which I could use for some other stuff.

Thanks,
Benjamin
