Thanks both of you for your reply.
The code that David suggested work-ed.
Unfortunately I can't find a solution that is always working. In other words: the same code sometimes works, sometimes doesn't and I can't understand why. I reset or restart IDL, still it does not work. Sometimes the plot is fine after I try some different settings (e.g. before plotting my two panels side by side, I have to plot 4 panels with multiplot,[2,2] and then go back).
Though plots are always perfects on the x terminal.
This so time consuming and frustrating!
Now I am trying to have two plots, side by side, 1 row, two columns. On the eps file IDL plots the first one taking all the space and then it overplots the second one on half of the space on the left.
Yet it seems that there are no problems when I plot the graphs in 1 col 2 rows.
I start wandering if the problem is the version of IDL (7.1.1)...

This is what I am using:

PS_Start, Encapsulated=1, FILENAME = 'test.eps', CHARSIZE=1, Font = -1, xsize=8, ysize= (8*4.5/5)

multiplot,[2,1], /init
plot, map1[wb], map2[wb], YRANGE=yr, PSYM = 2, XTITLE= greekLetter + '[km/s]', YTICKFORMAT='(F4.2)'

multiplot
plot, map3[wn], map4[wn], YRANGE=yr, PSYM = 2, XTITLE= greekLetter + '[km/s]', YTICKFORMAT='(A1)', YTITLE = ''
multiplot, [1,1], /init
PS_End

Thanks in advance for your help.
Sorry to be so annoying about this subject.
