You are right. I modified my patch so as to only include plotport and
highlvl.

I have not understood the purpose of this Class: field then. All the routines
in plotport and highlvl have 'Class: highlevel', just as many others 
already included in libpari.

What exactly needs to be done for a given specific function, e.g plot() in
plotport.c ?

    Function: plot
    Class: highlevel
    Section: graphic
    C-Name: plot
    Prototype: vV=GGIDGDGp

This is now fixed.

Thanks,
