I'm not sure "no good" is how I would describe it. I think
"exactly what you want and expect" is probably a better
description. Normalized coordinates are referenced to
the *display window* and *never* to a plot.

If you wanted to use normalized coordinates, then you
should get your bearings from the ![XY].Window system
variables after each plot.

Cheers,

David
