I do the same thing, and am constantly annoyed at the switching of
the defaults.

How about the following:

;****************************************
pro setplot,devicestring
; set the plot and save/restore the !p information

oldp = !p
set_plot,devicestring
!p=oldp

end
;****************************************

; Useage here

; mainlevel test code here

; HEY, specific numbers here, assuming 256 colours
!p.color = 0
!p.background = 255

window,0
erase ; on my comp, the screen starts out black
plot,findgen(10),tit='window first'

setplot,'ps'
plot,findgen(10),tit='ps'
device,/close

setplot,'win'
window,1
erase
plot,findgen(10),tit='window again'

end

Cheers,
