oploterror is a wrapper for oploterr from the NASA astronomy IDL
library. I'll try what you wrote when I get home.

More questions! I have ImageMagick installed. When I run convert -
version from my normal bash command line, it works fine, but PS_END
can't find it. Help?

Also, PS_START seems to be ignoring my xsize and ysize keywords; the
following gives me an 8.5x11 ps output:

IDL> ps_start, /nomatch, xsize=10., ysize=10., /
inches,filename=filts[filt]+'_'+dn+'.ps'
