Hi Emilie -

I have stopped using ALINE as it is often flaky. You can achieve the  
same effect with less bother and much more flexibility by defining  
your endpoints with LET:

let xpts={4,8}; let ypts={-3,0}
plot/vs/over/nolab/line=N/dash=(...)/col= ... xpts,ypts

If you want the line to go outside the plot box:

plot/vs/over/set/....
ppl window,off
ppl plot/over
