Doesn't work how? No output?

Probably depends what exactly you're plotting. Can you give more info?

actaully I'm really novice with the above command. I don't get any
output, unfortunately.
I would also be interested into know if I can convert eps into another
eps with lower resolution. Again, I have been foöling around the
eps2eps command, but quite uncesfully :(

Anywya, this will be of great help for my future plotting ....

Have you tried to set some keywords to the device call:
set_plot, "PS"
device, LANGUAGE_LEVEL=2, /encapsulated
PS level 2 should be a lot smaller than the default level 1.

Since you seem to be using png as output, I assume you're using
pdflatex. Have you tried epstopdf? BTW: what does not work? no output,
no reduction, or subsequent inclusion into dvi-latex does not work? The
latter is no surprise, as dvi-latex doesn't handle bitmaps.

I'm trying to find this keyword in the documentation and can't. Any idea when
it was added? I thought the PS device driver hadn't changed in years.
