Two things together.  BPASS did not set the sort order except in some 
odd case that you did not invoke.  It should set it 1,5 for a new file 
that it controls and 0,0 (unknown) for an old file which it is changing 
or appending.  BPLOT sorts the BP table and so sets an order.  So - 
after 1 or more BPASSes, you did a BPLOT,  Then more BPASSes which BPLOT 
could not see because it thought that the file was in the desired sort 
order which it was in fact not.  Fixed BPASS to control the sort order 
plus added a little space so that the label at left will look better in 
BPLOT.

Cheers,

Eric
