Try this with PLOT ;-)

You'll see plot object, plot ..., plot ... and only somewhere way down
the list you find what you were looking for. In the idlwave shell,
it's 
IDL> plot    [now type C-c ?] 
and here are your PLOT keywords.

well, yes. But how many "page downs". Wait until you write widget
code. What did I read yesterday in David's book: there are over 60
keywords to widget_info alone!


Cheers,

Martin
