Hi Chris:
I decided to do some more work on this question.  I was interested in
pulling the data directly from the InterpolatingFunction.
Here is my code.  I've given it in expanded form so that the components
would be easy to understand:
sol=NDSolve[{y'[x]==y[x],y[0]==1},y,{x,0,2}];
fun= y /. sol;
args=fun /. InterpolatingFunction->List;
xvalues=args[[1,3,1]];
yvalues=Map[First,args[[1,4]]];
data=Transpose[{xvalues,yvalues}];
ListPlot[data]
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Des Penny
