Well, I just tried this again today and it works as advertized. I
have no idea what I did to change it's behavior. The only thing I'd
done was to run the two lines of code through IDL 8.0 - logged out
last night and back in this morning, fired up 8.1 and it worked.
Perhaps a variant of "plot" is hiding in some code I ran the other day
- but IDL's default library is first in my PATH list. Thanks to all
who offered help!
