Wow Dave, thanks a lot.
Your suggestions (as expected) worked like a charm. I really
appreciate them.

It is much better, as you suggest, to first set up the plots, and them
draw the frames and margins.

The NASA logo and others are created outside of the margin (the
screen) because I'm not interested in viewing them on the screen, but
when you create the PS output, they do appear as "footnotes" in the
paper. This is important when creating a printed report, where I do
want the NASA logo to appear, and my name. I should also add a "thanks
to Dave Fanning" in that section :)

Another situation is still freaking me out: after I run the code, the
SECOND time the direct graphics appear yellow! (the first ones are
white). I have nothing against that color, but I did not request it!
This happens to me all the time, when I change the device and set it
back. My device is "X".

I will look into the yellow problem, but the code now works as
expected.

Many thanks, I owe you a beer (after all your suggestions, maybe I
should get a keg :)
