j802,

I get value error pd_png (or pd_bmp, pd_jpg).  in j6 and jhs too.  j6 has the 
media addon installed.  I don't think is available in j8, but j8 error messages 
still say it requires it (when trying to save to other than bmp). 

'show ; save bmp' plot i.10  NB. or without 'show;' or with 'show; output'

syntax error: qt_bmp 
|       ('qt_',type)~(1+#type)}.y

see output commands of that webpage, eg

'output png' plot i.10
