Adrian.
Thanks. That would probably work; except I long ago disabled
cscript/jscript/vbscript on my system for security reasons. I'm not sure I'd
remember now how to re-enable it. (Nor that I would want to; but that's my
paranoia :)

Samuel,
I tried the above, but it made no difference.
The problem is not that the window is iconified; just that when the script
completes and control returns to the scilab shell, its console widow is brought
to the front and so the graphics window get hidden by it.
However, you mentioned using a loop (earlier) and that triggered a thought and
lead to a solution.
while(1) sleep(100), end;
It simply prevents the script ending so the graphics window stays on top; but
the script remains responsive so that when I close the graphics window, your
f.closerequestfcn = "exit(0)";
kicks in and terminates the whole thing.
And that's nearly perfect. I run this from the command line:
"C:\Program Files\scilab-5.5.2\bin\SciLex.exe" -noatomsautoload -f
graphRdat.sce *.rdat
The script loads up all the .rdat files in the cwd, graphs the data inside, and
leaves the graph on top for my perusal.
When I'm done, I close the graph and I get returned to the command lien where I
ran the command.
----------
So then I thought I could go one step further. I redefined the standard file
associations as follows:
C:\>assoc .sce
.sce=Scilab5.sce
C:\>ftype Scilab5.sce
Scilab5.sce="C:\Program Files\scilab-5.5.2\bin\wscilex.exe" -O "%1"
C:\Motor>ftype Scilab5.sce="C:\Program Files\scilab-5.5.2\bin\scilex.exe"
-nb -noatomsautoload -f "%1" %*
Scilab5.sce="C:\Program Files\scilab-5.5.2\bin\scilex.exe" -nb
-noatomsautoload -f "%1" %*
C:\>set pathext=.pl;.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.PY;.PYW;.SCE;
so that I could just type:
C:\>graphRdat *.rdat
and that invokes the script, draws the graphs, waits for me to close the window
and exits back to the command prompt.
Perfect!
Now all I need to resolve is my problem with setting the colors for plot2d() so
that I can get nice logplot axis and I'm done.
Thanks all.
