Dear Danny,
I have tried ylim and it does not present it correctly.
It present the axis on an enlarged with +XXXe-y on the scale, as can
be seen from the pdf of the output. I want to get rid of this extra
bit.
The strange part is that when I first used ylim it did what I wanted,
but now does not.
I am flummoxed.
But thanks anyway.
Sydney
