RE: Empty PNG files

[Jonathan Fowler]

I assumed the tab in syntax instructions meant that the line is a 
subcommand/variable. What did I do wrong?

The program I suggested contained the fragment:

examine x
  /plot=boxplot.

which is NOT the same as

examine x
/plot=boxplot.


With regard to the segmentation violation, I think this is bug #25903 which was 
fixed on 29 March.  However the version tag on the error dump you posted 
indicates your copy was built on 24 March, so wouldn't have included the fix.  
This bug should only manifest itself if you run more than one EXAMINE command 
in the same session.
