Yes, that is true - I had forgotten about my friend the /noerase
keyword. I am now trying to decide whether it would be worth my (and
the IDL community's) time to write a routine that does some of the
position calculating for you, particularly when making an inset on a
page with multiple plots. Is this something people need, or should I
not worry about it?

Usually the /NOERASE keyword is useful to overlay a new plot on an
existing plot, and the POSITION keyword to make a smaller plot box.
For example,
plot, findgen(10)
plot, findgen(10), /noerase, position=[0.6,0.4,0.9,0.9]
Good luck,
Craig
