- This is not possible in Maple V 1.1 for Windows, and we recognize
- this as a shortcoming. It will be fixed in Maple V Release 2 for
- Windows.

- Unfortunately, there is no way to speed up the plotting. The redrawing
- could be avoided by using bitmaps of each plot, but this rapidly
- eats up memory, and overall efficiency is severly compromised. We recognize
- that this is not ideal, and this is an issue that is being worked on
- for Maple V Release 2 for Windows.
