I ran jconsole on a computational grid where none of the mentioned commands is installed. Anyhow, it now seems to me, from reading the source of 'plot', that the plot command, if run from jconsole, tries qt first, then tries various other options, and probably saves output to a file in the last resort. Thank you. Best regards Ruda ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
