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
