Behavior of subplot

I did (finally) figure this out as you suggested.  It has
been a long time since I used Matlab for anything serious,
so...

With the correction shown, yes.  In more complicated subplots, the hold on
is needed, but it all works now.

But, do not forget the spacing and bounding box problems.  Also, I
noticed that the old "plot_border" command is gone and there appears to
be no way to selectively turn off the sides of the "border box."  
Remember the
old plot_border("s","w"); command?  This is just a nostalgic remark --
do not worry about it.  There may well be a way to do that anyhow.
