one plot bringing two metafiles up

[Hemerson Tonin <hemer.tonin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I have a journal (below) that uses ppl commands and fill_between.jnl, 
basically, my intend is reproduce a figure like SOI index ( 
see:  http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/~kessler/ENSO/soi-1950-98.gif ) within my 
model running period.

 I removed all older metafiles; set mode meta, run the journal, it comes 
perfect on screen, but in the end of day, I've got 2 metafiles.

 One is metafile.plt and another one metafile.plt.~1~, resulting  that, it 
is  impossible to convert them (both ?!?!) to ps. It seems that 
the  journal is spliting the plot in two.


 Any ideas ?

! this is a little trick to put time axis labels either below and above the 
plot
!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

define viewport/xlim=0:1/ylim=0:1   view1
define viewport/xlim=0:1/ylim=0:1   view2

 set view view1

 set view view2
 plot/colour=white/nolabels/vlim=-3.5:3.5:1 temp
 ppl txlabp, 1
 ppl plot

! end of trick

 ppl ylab "hPa: 1000 hPa subtracted"

 go fill_between poly/ov/pal=red/nolabels el_nino time
! time is  the  original axis of the variable soi
