You want to use the LAYOUT keyword in conjunction with
the CURRENT keyword.

IDL> p = plot(loaddata(17), layout=[2,2,1])
IDL> p = plot(loaddata(17), layout=[2,2,2], /current)
IDL> p = plot(loaddata(17), layout=[2,2,3], /current)
IDL> p = plot(loaddata(17), layout=[2,2,4], /current)

I looked up one of the multiple plot examples
in the on-line help. Then, I mucked around
until I figured it out. :-)

Cheers,

David
