I believe that was a feature of the iTools and is not being allowed
through the function graphics interface. Note that the extension was
".isv" which is not treated the same as other unknown extensions in the
function graphics' save method:

[501]> p = plot(/test)
[502]> p->save, 'test.isv'
% SAVE: GRAPHICSWIN: Unknown property: VIEWPORT_DIMENSIONS
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
[503]> p->save, 'test.sav'
% SAVE: test.sav
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
[504]> p->save, 'test.mike'
% SAVE: test.mike
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

An error message such as "unknown file extension: mike" would be nice in
these cases.

Mike
