Yes, but if you think of it my way, then it makes no sense! :)
Of course, your description is the correct one and it is how it is
described in the help.

I was just mentionin it from a practical point of view, where if you
want to place a plot in a certain place, you count backwards from the end.
I do this all the time to change the number of plots in a row (2 plots
in the first row, and 3 in the second row for instance). I guess it comes
from my aversion to interactive uses of IDL (isn't it ironic) and my
penchant for creating single figure output for inclusion in manuscripts.

Cheers,
bob

PS .... so, in PS mode, !P,multi=[0,1,2] does not give an
erase command before plotting the first plot. The erase
command would create a blank page, wouldn't it?
