Have you tried to issue the clear plot command after you switch to the
6th subplot??

i.e.

subplot(2,3,6);
clearplot;

Sorry if I was not clear but I had hoped the pdf would help. What you
suggest is not what I want.

octave:8> plot=20
(Results(1:29,8),Results(1:29,9),"x",Results(30:56,8),Results(30:56,9),"
 at 33x
")

will produce one "subplot" as per attached pdf. However, the red and
blue
data need to be in different subplots as per original pdf subplots 1 and
2,
respectively (with same color as in different subplots). If I use
subplots,
then the first subplot would have all the red data. Ok so far. The next
subplot *should* have only the blue data but it will also replot the red
data because I need to use hold on to create each subplot. My trick was
to
clear from gnuplot memory the data used in the first/previous plot(s) by
plotting something entirely different to a dummy subplot.  This worked
fine
for the first five subplots but at the end I'm stuck with an unwanted
dummy
subplot.=20
