[mesa-users] No plotting on test runs in release 5819?

[Astronomer Tom]

Bill,

Your example works perfectly, which means I'm clearly misunderstanding something on the plotting is controlled.

I'm searching for release notes to see if anything changed in how the defaults or examples work since summer 2013, but can't find anything.  Are the changes documented somewhere?  

The inlist files I experimented with last summer do not work either.

It there an Idiot's Guide to the Inlist file? ;^)

Thanks,
Tom
