You forgot to mention what operating system you are using: IDL uses
enviroment variables on Unix and VMS and checks for "IDL_DEVICE".
If found it passes that string as parameter to SET_PLOT.
Example:

setenv IDL_DEVICE ps
or
export IDL_DEVICE=ps

If don't know if IDL for Windows behaves the same or searches the
ini-file.

Nevertheless IDL will print some lines into the log file which is
usually allocated to the screen. I haven't found a "quiet" option
to suppress that. Is there such a feature?
