You can specify -combine(row(1))-, as 
is implied by the -syntax- statement. 

Note that the -syntax- statement should read 

combine(str asis) 

not 

combine(passthru) 

as my follow-up posting indicated. But, as you 
may fear, there was no claim that -mdotplot- is anything 
other than a bundle of -dotplot-s stitched together. 

NetCourse 151 starts in January!
