Ken Levasseur observes ...
...there was a distinct difference in the outputs from
> pt=Map[Point[{#,#^2}]&,Table[Random[],{20}]];
> ax=Line[{{1,0},{0,0},{0,1}}];
> nm=Text["y = x^2",{0.2,0.9}];
> {pt,ax,nm}//Graphics//Show
> {nm,pt,ax}//Graphics//Show
In the latter output, all points in pt are connected to pt[[1]].
------------------
I observed this same effect, using a Mac IIci Front-End to a DEC-RISC
kernel.
The correct behaviour results from the following
{{nm},pt,ax}//Graphics//Show
{{nm},pt,ax}//Flatten//Graphics//Show
{nm,pt,ax}//Flatten//Graphics//Show
Somehow the Text[] command ( in the expansion of nm ) is having an
undesirable side-effect when the Graphics primitives are not all at the same
level in Graphics[] .
