Geez, Bob, having a bad day?

Not even RSI has unlimited resources. Things have to be prioritized.
Given the huge number of changes that IDL 5 has required and the
problems that inevitably arise, I don't find it hard to believe that
a grid line, for goodness sake, gets a low priority.

What is wrong with this, other than it calls a procedure that has
been retired 3 versions ago? It works like I expect it to on my
machine, even when I call it the correct way:

Plot, FINDGEN(100)+1, FINDGEN(100)+1, XR = [2, 8], XSTY = 1, $
/XLog, /Ylog

Cheers,

David
