Thanks. Got detoured by "not supported". I think I'll be printing our your messages in the future. I just went back to one just now, and had forgotten about your mentio of pyLab, model. On 2/11/2010 7:38 AM, John Hunter wrote: > On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 9:18 AM, Wayne Watson > wrote: > >>

Foiled again. I clicked on the previous version, which has no MPL code in the same def. The show() is where things go wrong though. The question now is where did the program go after the show()? Maybe it's time to put the interactive debugger into play, which I've barely used. I have used others
