Chris, you are right about that; I was able to confirm it using XP's
Virtual DOS Console.
(Nice time saving option, by the way.)
That still leaves the question:
Where is the path-to-pdf-file filled in..?
For plot isn't following the ~temp path correctly
-----
jpath '~temp'
f:/documents and settings/admin/j701-user/temp
-----
while the GSView -e parameter is used, looking (in vain) for a file
named "documents" in the root of f:
From the Help file "/j701/addons/docs/help/jforc/graphics.htm" I gathered that
-----
.... pd 'pdf [filename width height]' creates a plot in PDF
format. filename defaults to ~temp\plot.pdf, .....
-----
Would anybody know whether this is done within the plot routine
itself, or in some cfg file (other than base.cfg) ..?

I think -e used to mean "reuse any existing gsview session".
