Yes. Communication: missing one another's point as closely as
possible. (problem probably exists at the sender).
"One run" in the context here, I meant to say: if you want to jump
from one PS file to another, and alternate between the different files
at will, that is not possible. If you want to generate a large number
of PS files sequentially: go right ahead. Also adding pages to a PS
file: fine, but only to one PS file at any one time.

I'm not exactly sure what "one run" means. It is true
that PostScript files can only be generated one at a time,
but if a "run" is an IDL program, you can generate as many
as you like in that program, as long as you do it one at
a time. You can also generate as many "pages" of PostScript
output as you like in a single PostScript file.
Cheers,
David

There can be only one current graphics device at any time, and thus
you can generate only one PS file in one run. A possible solution is
to first run the inner loop, and then run the outer loop.
