Well, I can't duplicate this problem.  It works fine
for me.  When are you doing the processing - Is it
automatic, @wlf, etc ?

If it is done @w* then you would need a display
command in order to see the result, but somehow I
suspect that you know that already.  Is it possible
that you have some automatic processing running that
is over-writing the result?
