PLOT/KEYWORD [key_name] [start,end] [x_sc,y_sc[,x_off,y_off]]
	plot the contents of a keyword
\us\pu
Purpose:    
            Plot the contents of a keyword on a graphics device
\up\sy
Syntax:     
            PLOT/KEYWORD [key_name] [start,end] [x_sc,y_sc[,x_off,y_off]]
\ys\pa
            key_name  = name of the keyword; default OUTPUTR
\ap\pa
            start,end = first and last data point to be plotted; end can
                        be smaller than start; defaults are the first and
                        the last valid data points in the keyword.
\ap\pa
            x_sc,y_sc,x_off,y_off = scale or size in the x- and y-direction,
                        offset in the x- and y-direction. For the scaling x_sc
                        and y-sc, positive numbers are interpreted as scale
                        parameters (world units/mm), negative numbers as size
                        parameters (axis will be made sc_* mm. long). A
                        combination of a positive and negative number is
                        allowed. By default the plot fills the device area. \\
                        x_off and y_off determine the distance of the lower
                        left corner of the plot to the lower left corner of the
                        graphic device, measured in mm. By default, the plot
                        is put at the top left of the graphic device, allowing
                        space for the various labels.
