Dear Kai,

Thanks very much for helping with my Octave problem.  You were right that
all I have to do is set "gnuplot_has_multiplot" to a nonzero value.

Since I wrote my earlier note I've come up with two more questions, and I
was wondering if you know the answer.

(1) Is it possible in Octave to insert text into a plot?  In Matlab this
can be done with the text command: text (xcoord, ycoord, 'TEXT').  But
this command produces an error message in Octave.

(2) Is it possible to use subscripts, superscripts, and Greek letters in a
key?  For instance, can I label a line as x^2, but with the 2 as a
superscript next to the x so that it's not necessary to use the caret?

Thanks again,

Bill Lipscomb
