          ( | nx , |

      Initializing the plotting package.  The program prompts for the
      device keyword or number of the desired output device.  Hitting a
      RETURN in response to the prompt is the same as selecting the first
      device.  If only one device is enabled when PLplot is installed,
      plstar will issue no prompt.  The output device is divided into
      
         by
      nx
      
         subpages, each of which
      may be used independently.  The subroutine ny
      pladv is used to advance
      from one subpage to the next.
