I agree. Woohoo!

cheers,

p.s. It may be a smallish victory, but I've just had a very productive 0.75 days plotting all manner of statistics using
the NG BARPLOT function. Finally a bar plot capability that I can call and have it just work. No more writing out ASCII
files, schlepping them over to my windows laptop, importing them in Excel, plotting the data, exporting the chart
figure, and then schlepping *that* back to my linux box for inclusion in my LaTEX docs. Yay!

p.p.s. And the extra nice thing is that I can now return the references to any graphics created to the main level prompt
via a keyword to fine tune the resultant plots if necessary (e.g. moving legends, changing ranges, etc.) and then simply
invoke the Save method again. It's bloody luxurious.
