>>> An erase method would be very useful. I find that when I rerun a script that greats a (function graphics) plot it always creates a new window, which steals the focus (and pops up the new window in the wrong place). This drives me crazy. It would be much better if I could erase the old one and reuse the same window. Then my window layout would stay put and focus would stay in the editing window.

Yep, I noticed that also. I thought it was just a quirk on my Mac, but I can reproduce it on Windows as well... I'll go ahead and fix it for the next service pack.
Thanks!
