It would be nice if SHOWGRAPH took a window name as an argument.  I KNOW I can create a window and pass that in, but I like the way SHOWGRAPH lays out its window (automatically choosing the right size) and don''t want to compute that on my own.  ...'

I don''t understand his problem #1':  What is a window NAME ?  Perhaps what he wants is to pass in a variable which will be set by SHOWGRAPH.  Or maybe SHOWGRAPH should return the window as value?  What is he after?'

You can kill off one of those ARs.  I read the documentation -- SHOWGRAPH'
does in fact take a window name as an arg.  It''s just that the arg name is poorly'
chosen.  The args to SHOWGRAPH should be --'
'
(SHOWGRAPH graph window/or/windowname ... )'
