Here's one:

        close(gcf)
	set(gca,"ylim",[.1  
100],"yminortick","on","yscale","log","yminorgrid","on")

Each decade has five minor ticks (e.g. at 2:2:10) instead of nine (at  
2:1:10).

Also "grid minor" seems to toggle the "?minorgrid" properties but not  
the "?minortick" properties.  Since default plots don't have minor  
ticks, "grid minor" appears to do nothing.

Cheers,
Rob
