      Alternative to plstar for initializing the plotting package.  The
      device name keyword for the
      desired output device must be supplied as an argument.  These
      keywords are the same as those printed out by plstar.  If the
      requested device is not available, or if the input string is empty or
      begins with ``?'', the prompted start up of plstar is used.  This
      routine also divides the output device page 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.
    
devname
          (PLCHAR_VECTOR
	    An ascii character string containing the
	    device name keyword of the required output device.  If
	    devname is NULL or if the first character of
	    the string is a ``?'', the normal (prompted) start up is used.
          
nx
          (PLINTNumber of subpages to divide output page in the x direction.
ny
          (PLINTNumber of subpages to divide output page in the y direction.
