The plot dialog can be used to both create new plots, and to edit existing dialogs.  It is not like any of the other dialogs.  It should be changed in the following way:

1) A menu entry Plot->new should be made to create a new plot in the current window.

2) the plot dialog should only be used to edit existing plots.

3) the "plot dialog" tool bar and menu tool should go away.

4) the buttons at the bottom should be replaces with the standard "apply, ok, cancel"

5) "re-grid window", the window combo box, and the plot combo box should be removed.

6) Unique plot name: ____ should be moved outside the tabs.

7) Discuss: should the "Apply Setting To" radio group be untied between tabs and changed to "Apply Setting in this tab to:"?
