help: mapgenplotter comman

[Geetha]

I am running mapgen4.1 with grass4.1 on solaris 2.2
This is my first attempt at mapgen. I have installed
graphics, mapgen4.1, SCS, PROJ.4

The command
    plotter ovm/* -d hpgl -o outfile
returns with the incomplete data shown below (I had the outline
of a state & some labels).

------------- outfile -------------
.I81;;17:.N;19:
IN;
SP1;PU;
IP;
SP;
-----------------------------------

What is the correct command for plotting in hpgl format but
redirecting the output to a file.
---------------------

The order of commands I ran
make.mapdef
make.line
plotter

ps: I do not have the plotter directly connected to the sun.

Thanks in advance,
G.K.
