I find myself struggling with the device defined drawing
space. For example, on our local system (Splus 3.1,
either sparc or sun3 ) the X11() device
defined drawing space is landscape: 11 wide by 8.5 high.

I reset the space with my PRINT_ORIENTATION button and
now the plot comes out in portrait mode but scaled as
a landscape plot 8.5 wide by 5.5 high.

    I wish to proportion the plot to 8.5 wide
and 11 high. When I try to change the par() parameters
such as fin, pin, din, or cin,   I invoke various
*very informative* warnings about variable "zzplotz".

Can someone tell me the Open Sesame of this....

Thanks Joanne
