Using !P.MULTI and !P.POSITION *together* is sure to cause
problems. But it is impossible to say exactly what is going
on without seeing the code. I'd probably ditch !P.MULTI in
this situation and become familiar with the NOERASE keyword.
That would more than likely solve all your problems.
Cheers,
David

Are you doing this at the end of your program?
DEVICE, /CLOSE
If you don't, the output buffer doesn't get flushed and some PS commands
don't make it into the PS file.
