I would like to use the fig terminal and use fig2ps (actually I 
suggested it on this list awhile ago), but there are no default circle 
or filled symbols for data plots.  I recently discovered it is possible 
to get them using advanced gnuplot commands, but that is cumbersome to 
use on a regular basis.  Do you have a good resolution for this issue?

Thanks,
Jonathan
