Maybe --no-plottitles, to distinguish from histogram titles?

someone else could look into this. I'm busy merging Sherpa branches that

I could do that for the small subset of analyses for which I have a
setup, but I think it would make much more sense to create a tarball,
give it to Anton (or Stefan Prestel) and ask them to run their mcplots
machinery. Their setup is much more complete than ours.
