I think the only alternative to a Common block would
be to make the initial "Plot" command a function that
returned some kind of reference, which the user could
keep track of to do the "overplot". The "self" object
reference comes immediately to mind, but then your
user is going to know for sure that this thing is an
object and run like hell in the other direction. :-(

Cheers,

David

P.S. I looked "object" up in my dictionary and I find
no reference to "voodoo" or "werewolf" anywhere. I don't
know where the notion that these things are to be
avoided came from.
