Yes, I agree. Other users have also brought up this behavior, so we
(that's me, Chris, Bill, others) have been talking about it over the
past few months. I had to check with Chris about scheduling -- he told
me that in the next few weeks he'll be modifying COLORBAR to allow it to
be decoupled from data. I haven't seen how he'll do it, but I'd like to
use your comments above as a guide.
