    Mark,

    Thanks for the advice. I didn't really see the "help" button - it
    was a bit small. Plus, and I'm not trying to be mean, but it was
    really non-obvious what that button did or what the results were.


well it was obvious to me when I wrote it.  ;)
I've always said the biggest problem with a one person project is you can only discuss this stuff with yourself and you usually think it makes sense.

Totally agree! I've been working on a project and I always worry that something obvious to me will be totally non-obvious to everyone else. It's hard to do (at least for me).

    I started to play around with using plot options on the "Plots by
    name(s)" line. Can you add more than one plot to this line? (I
    tried giving a comma separated list of names and it locked).


that should have worked.  according to help I see this:

*Plots By Names*
There are a number of additional plots that are available to you that are simply too numerous, and less common, to list on the main page. To see a complete list of these click on the associated /Help/ button. You may enter one or more of these and they will be produced in addition to those that may have been selected elsewhere.

but it doesn't say they can be comma separated, which they can be. did you include spaces AND commas by any chance?

Bingo - that's what happened. Let me try again.

    Within the plots there are a list of variables that are plotted. I
    looked in the colplot.defs file and saw where they were defined.
    If I want to plot a subset of these variables, I assume I edit the
    colplot.defs file and reload the page?


exactly OR better still, you could create your own file, call it jeff.defs and stick it in /usr/share/collect. It will be loaded on top of colplotlib.defs, making it easy to preserve your settings even if you install a newer version of colplot.

Nice - I will try this.

Thanks!

Jeff
