>> My understanding is that OVERPLOT keyword in NG *does not* work like the OPLOT of DG. Indeed, by using OVERPLOT=gr (or 1), you will mix the added plot with the 'gr' (or current) one, but without necessarily retaining the initial plot axes.

I agree with Xin that the new behavior is less desirable that the old. If I set the range in the original plot, then I probably want to keep that range as I build up the graphic. I wonder if this new behavior is related to the issue of plotting speed for complicated graphics that arose over 8.2.2.
