Not to mention that you could use different colors
and color tables in different windows and they would
be preserved as well.

Incidentally, a *huge* advantage to doing it within cgWindows is that the data coordinate system of each window is preserved when you switch back and forth. So if you overplot things on window 0, they end up placed correctly on window 0's coordinate system. Compare the locations of the plusses:
IDL> window,0
IDL> plot, [0,1],[0,1]
IDL> window,1
IDL> plot, [0,2],[0,2]
IDL> wset,0
IDL> oplot, psym=1, [0.1], [0.8]
with
IDL> cgwindow, 'plot', [0,1],[0,1]
IDL> wids = cgquery()
IDL> cgwindow, 'plot', [0,2],[0,2]
IDL> cgset, wids[0]
IDL> cgwindow, 'oplot', [0.1],[0.8], psym=1, /addcmd

You use WSet to select the current graphics window.
Or, if you are using resizeable graphics windows
from the Coyote Graphics System, you would use
cgSet.

ok, I solved by using wset

Just for completeness, same goes for function graphics in IDL v8+
IDL> pA=plot([0,1],[0,1])
IDL> pB=plot([0,2],[0,2])
IDL> pA=plot([0.1], [0.8],symbol='diamond',/overplot)
