Hi David,
Thanks for the input below which identified (at least for me) the
Method -> {"AxesInFront" -> False} applicable to Plot[].
My question to you and the group is how can one find out what Methods
exist in general in Mathematica.
I have found no searchable, consistent, way to find out what methods
exist for given functions or are applicable in general for a group of
functions.
It appears to be a generic problem in the searchable Mathematica
documentation (Online or shipped documentation).
Is there a simple solution? It would be very helpful to know it!
Cheers ... Syd

PS I did quite a lot of different Internet and Mathematica search
queries and for instance found one of the few references to
identifying a new Method option:

I reveived a nice answer from Chris Chiasson who passed on an answer
from James Mulnix at WRI Technical Support.
It appears that Graphics now has Method as an option and among the
methods are the following:
Method -> {"AxesInFront" -> True/False}
Method -> {"GridLinesInFront" -> True/False}
and that gives the control we need.
The way you discovered the two Method options above was local
knowledge from James Mulnix via Chris Chiasson to you.
I think this points to the fact that Methods are added in an ad hoc
way and not integrated into the documentation in a consistent way that
I can find.
Also I seem to recall a previous post to this group complaining about
the "Among the methods are ...." without being able to get to the
complete list.
