Of course. Sorry to be slow on the uptake!

Unfortunately, though I can make the TITLE and YTITLE move in and out
like anything by adding trailing or leading !c, the XTITLE will move
down but won't move up -- it just sits there while the extra lines go
trailing down the screen and off the edge of the window.
It's a pity there isn't a reverse-line-feed character .. . wait a
minute!
!a and !b shift text 'above or below the division line' -- ie half a
line up or down.
That works on the x axis. Adding in stuff like STRING(12B) doesn't seem
to help,
with the XTITLE either.

Failing that, there are the dubious delights of the ANNOTATE procedure
to experiment with.
(Has anyone else tried that and had their window jumping across the
screen?)

Thanks again for the suggestion!
