You need to write to a specified graphics device.  That usage I believe
just pops up a graphics window and shuts it again.

I would think you want

win.metafile("plot1.emf", width=??, height=??)

before doing any plotting.  Then you can include plot1.emf into a Word
etc document.

Note that the production of metafiles works much better in 1.2.2 than
before.
