Give a list of options in Mathematica 6

Hi all,

maybe my question is stupid, but I was unable to find an answer after
some hours searching in google.

As far as I remember, in Mathematica 5 i was able to "reuse" a list of
options this way:

opts = {Opt1->Val1,Opt2->Val2,...}

Plot[f[x],{x,0,100},opts]
Plot[g[x],{x,20,30},opts]
Plot[h[z],{z,-10,10},opts]
...

Noe I'm unable to replicate this in mathematica 6. Cut and paste of a
sample notebook:

In[65]:= opts = {PlotRange -> {0, 1}, AxesOrigin -> {0, 0.5}}

Out[65]= {PlotRange -> {0, 1}, AxesOrigin -> {0, 0.5}}

In[66]:= Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}, opts]

During evaluation of In[66]:= Plot::nonopt: Options expected (instead
\
of opts) beyond position 2 in Plot[x,{x,0,1},opts]. An option must be
\
a rule or a list of rules. >>

Out[66]= Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}, opts]

I thought opt WAS a list of rules, but mathematica doesn't seem to
agree... :-(

Were I'm wrong?

Thanks

Giacomo
