## usage: subwindow (xn, yn)
##
## NOTE: this will work only with gnuplot installed with
##       multiplot patch
##
## Sets subwindow position in multiplot mode for next plot. The
## multiplot mode has to be previously initialized using multiplot()
## command, else this command just becomes an aliad to multiplot()
