Re: possible bug with plot command?

[Jeremy Brower]

Hi Ben,

I'm running Windows Vista Business 32-bit with SP1. In the meantime, I've just added the 'refresh' command at the end of each plot command, and it forces the expected behavior.

Thanks for looking into this.

I can continue hitting enter, or entering other commands, and no figure window ever appears. Only when I enter "clear all" does figure(1) show up and show the original plot I've asked for.

I don't recall this being reported before. What OS are you running?
