Index:	man/man5/plot.5 Fix

Description:
	Given the design of the plot(5) package and the design of the
	Tektronix 4014, it's hard to do the right thing when a "label"
	call is immediately followed by a "cont" call.

Repeat-By:
	Compile the following program

		main()
		{
			openpl();
			move(200, 200);
			label("x");
			cont(400, 400);
			closepl();
		}

	and run it from a 4014-like terminal.

Fix:
	Add these lines to the end of man/man5/plot.5:

		.SH BUGS
		A
		.I label
		instruction immediately followed by a
		.I cont
		instruction does the wrong thing on a 4014.
