saveas command requires pause

[Fritz Sonnichsen]

I am using the saveas(H,filename) command to save jpgs of plots. I note 
that if I run many consecutive plots, several are missing (e.g. do not 
get saved).  The workaround for me was to put a pause command between 
each plot/save sequence:

H3=plot(VC)
  title("Drift of Cell: Current","fontsize",14)
  pause(4)
  saveas (H3, "C:/Users/fs/Desktop/gus/plot3.jpg");

I am using the qt graphics package. Any comments here? Perhaps Octave is 
multhreading this and not waiting for the prior plot to finish.

thanks
