Let's just say IDL 8.0 has me REALLY confused most
of the day! It's hard to tell what is real and what is
justifiable paranoia. :-)

Cheers,

Perhaps you should change your alter ego from Coyote to Chicken
Licken.

Whoops! Never mind. My fault entirely! I ran a program
in my startup file that set !P.Position, something I don't
ordinarily do, but which is necessary for some book figures
I am creating. Naturally, you can't use both !P.MULTI and
position the plot at the same time.

Sorry for the bogus post.

Cheers,

David
