No, this isn't an issue because I -graph save- and -graph export- the
file with a different name (dependent upon `i') each time I pass thru
the loop.

I have looked at the help file and cannot figure out how to get it to
work in this case (please note that the variable "varlabs" is not the
same as a variable label because of the way the data are shaped).
So, in addition to "title("Causes `=varlabs[`vars[`i']']'")" to
create the graph title, I've tried things like:
title("Causes `varlabs[`vars']'")
title("Causes `=varlabs[`vars[`i']']'")
title("Causes `=varlabs[`=vars[`i']']'")
etc...
but I cannot decipher the help documentation for extended functions to
get this to work.
