David,
I'm using PV-Wave version 6, not IDL (I assume they are not the same). Will
your suggestion still work for PV-Wave? I'm not trying to output a picture,
I'm trying to electronically save a plot: "plot,x,y". It's actually more
complicated than just using the plot command, though. Thanks for the reply.
Steve
