problem using p.multi in IDL 5.3/IRIX [message #48118]

OK, I throw myself on the good offices of the group. Running IDL 5.3
under SGI IRIX 6.15, I can't manage to get two plots up-and-down
on a portrait PostScript page. No setting of !p.multi that I've
tried does it. I can get two plots sharing the top half of the page,
each very wide and short, or the ostensible lower plot landing on
top of the upper one (overplotted, as far as I can tell) with a message:
DEVICE: PostScript preview incompatible with multiple pages

I would have thought that setting !p.multi=[2,1,2] or [0,1,2] would get me
there, but that results in two plots squeezed vertically sharing the
top half of the page. Feel free to point out what blindingly obvious
thing I'm repeatedly missing - we have two teenagers at home, so
I'm under no illusions of mental adequacy.

Thanks,
