   Minor trial-and-error worked well, too. Tweaking the x and y positions a
percent or two, and the rotational angle a few degrees got it properly
placed. However, as my later posts pointed out, using d.out.file moves the
text (and increases its size) relative to the monitor display.

   Strangely enough, it started working without the bgcolor= option. I am
using 6.5svn but I don't know the svn version number.

Many thanks,
