Do you mean without using an object? Then, no, there
is no neat and pleasant way to do it. :-)

The messy way, of course, is just to save the appropriate
system variables:

Window, 1
Plot, data
p1 = !P
x1 = !X
y1 = !Y
z1 = !Z
m1 = !Map

Window, 2
Plot, moredata
p2 = !P
x2 = !X
y2 = !Y
z2 = !Z
m2 = !Map

Then, when you want to overplot, restore everything:

WSet, 1
!P = p1
!X = x1
!Y = y1
!Z = z1
!Map = m1
OPlot, somedataOn1

Cheers,

David

P.S. I can think of several interesting ways to do this with
an object. And it would be neat and pleasant, but you would
have to remember to destroy the object when you were done
with it. If your mama trained you right, this probably wouldn't
be a problem. :-)
