Thanks for all the responses. Let me sumarize what I ended up doing, so
other people can try this too. First of all, yes, we only needed to
look at the output in postscript. Thats good, because the margins when
using !p.multi (on a page) are pretty big. I wrote a little title_plot
program that puts the a plot pretty centered and on the top of the page,
with parameters to move in the x and y direction (in character units).
Instead of leaving on the page (the title) I pushed it up off the page!
You cannot see it on the display screen, but in the postscript plot it
works well. Likewise we put a legend and the date stamp below the
bottom of the page (in the lower margin!) Note, to do this, create the
plot first, then put the stuff in the margins.
To view this on the screen, we used ghost script as follows:
gs -g600x800 -r70 filename
This is on a sparc 10 runing Solaris 1.0.something.

If anyone would like this code, or more information, just let me
know...

thanks for all your help, and I too hope this makes it onto the 'to
be changed list at RSI'
