In general, any time you issue a graphics command that
would, on your display, erase the window first (e.g, Plot,
Contour, Surface, etc.) will, in PostScript, create a new
page of output. Any time you issue a graphics command
that would go into the same window (e.g. OPLOT, PLOTS,
XYOUTS, etc.) will stay on the same page.

Moreover, you can force a new page of PostScript output
by "erasing" the window with an ERASE command.

Cheers,

David
