If it's the wplot/woplot that I wrote looooong ago, then I wouldn't
expect it to zoom whilst you have suspended the command line (via a read
or a wait or a get_kbrd).

Those wplot/woplot procedures weren't designed for that. They were
simply a poor-mans zoom-plot as I waited for the current function
graphics "plot" function to be implemented.

But, getting back to your code snippet, what you want to do is create
your own widget (using FG plot) but with a button that, when clicked,
outputs the command to a file or directly copies the file as you are
doing or whatever.

It's a bit of work but, if you are going to be doing this again and
again and again, worth the effort.

cheers,

p.s. OT, but if all you want is a y/n answer, I would do something like:

ans = GET_KBRD(1)
IF ( STRUPCASE(ans) EQ 'Y' ) THEN BEGIN
...blah blah
ENDIF
