All right. Enough already. Prof Brian D Ripley and Gunter, Bert have not so
subtly pointed out that my solution was "wrong". My solution was
approximate. It is a lot closer than where the original poster started.
Peter Perkins kindly suggested adding par(pty="s") which helps a lot. On my
Windows 95 - based machine running verson 4.5, the following commands get
the aspect ratio to within 5% if not 1% of each other. My rudimentary
measuring system (lined paper on the screen and printout) is no more
accurate than that. Also, my appologies to C programmers that are unaware
that the underscore (_) is the same as <- for many versions of S-PLUS.
Please tell me I am not the first person to use the underscore!

graphsheet(8,8)
par(pty="s")
pd <- range(c(x,y),na.rm=T)
plot(x,y,xlim=pd,ylim=pd)
