I cannot reproduce this behavior in the following versions

  4.2 for Microsoft Windows (June 5, 2002)
  4.2 for Microsoft Windows (February 28, 2002)
  4.1 for Microsoft Windows (November 2, 2000)
  4.0 for Microsoft Windows (April 21, 1999)
  Microsoft Windows 3.0 (April 25, 1997)


I can reproduce the behavior you had quoted in such a way.


1. Do NOT load MultipleListPlot via Needs["Graphics`MultipleListPlot`"];

2. Input (list1 = Table[{x, Sin[2 Pi x]}, {x, 0, 1, 0.1}];
         list2 = Table[{x, Cos[2 Pi x]},  {x, 0, 1, 0.1}]);

3. Input MultipleListPlot[list1, list2]

4. Copy the output into the email and compare with yours.

Over years, I gradually came to the final conclusion that it is best to
load the proper package prior to using a function call from it ;-)
