The list of devices you can use actually depends on your installation of 
PGPLOT -- and not on ISIS.
When PGPLOT is compiled, the file drivers.list is parsed.
Using the PGPLOT which comes with the HEASOFT package, I can enquire the 
list of enabled drivers in my installation of HEASOFT 6.6.1 with
   grep -v ^\! $HEADAS/../tcltk/pgplot/drivers.list
i.e.
   grep -v ^\!  /installation_path/headas-6.6.1/tcltk/pgplot/drivers.list
-- but your source code might be at a different location (if it is still 
there at all).

For more information on PGPLOT devices, see 
http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot/devices.html.

Cheers,

Manfred
