Re: Limit on number of axes/grids

[Steve Hankin <hankin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Russell,

We hope to have Ferret V5 (a very stable beta) out late this week --
watch for an announcement.

It does not contain a cancel grid or cancel axis command (or
equivalent). I'll look into that during the BETA period.
