    PLTYPE	 3	Plot type:  1 = "symbols only", 2 = "lines only",
			3 = "both symbols and lines", and 4 = "histogram".
    PRMLIST		Prints out the current parameter values.  [5]
    RANSKP	 0	Right annotation skip.  [7]

			negative values PLT does not change the sizes from
			frame to frame.  Positive values instruct PLT to 
			compute sizes as if average axes length was equal 
			to SIZFAC.

    SYMBOL	 1	Symbol represents the number of symbol to plot.
    SYMSIZ	 1	Symbol size.  [2]
    TICDIR	 0	Tick direction:  value or "inward"  produce
			tick marks inward otherwise they are outward.
    XANSKP	 0	X-axis annotation skip.  [7]
    XCYCLE	 0	Number of logarithmic cycles in the x axes.
    XFMT	I3	X axis annotation format. [8]
    XINT	 5	X axes intervals.  [4]
    XLABEL		X axis label. [8]
    XLEN	 6	X axes length in inches.
    XLLC	 2.2	Location of axes in x direction (inches).
    XMAX	10	X axes maximum value.
    XMIN	 0	X axes minimum value.
    XPERCENT   100	Percent of x axis used to position the limits.
    YANSKP	 0	Y-axis annotation skip.  [7]
    YCYCLE	 0	Number of logarithmic cycles in the y axes.
    YFMT	I3	Y axis annotation format. [8]
    YHOR	 0	Place the labels on the y axes horizontally.  [3]
    YINT	 5	Y axes intervals.  [4]
    YLABEL		Y axis label. [8]

    ^string^		Shift to alternate font for string.
    || or |*|		Insert current symbol into text string.
    |nnn|		Insert symbol number nnn into text string.
    $			Replace '$' in string with space.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Note 1:	Use negative values to indicate pen number.  Zero value
		inhibits plotting.
    Note 2:	Positive values are used as multipliers of default size.
		Negative values are used as absoluted size in inches.
    Note 3:	YES = Y = 1 and NO = N = 0.
    Note 4:	Intervals for ticmarks are of the form MM.N where MM and N
		are the number of major and minor intervals respectively.
    Note 5:	Keyword.
    Note 6:	Transfer of control.
    Note 7:	If set to zero no annotations are to be skipped.  Positive
		values indicate the number of annotations to be skipped.
		Negative values produce no annotions.
    Note 8:	Text parameter.
