Bye the way,  I would not recommand the use of Gnuplot for OS/2 for
two reasons,
	(1)	It is slower than the dos version
	(2)	IT DOES NOT WORK!!

Yes, that's correct.  Try it and see (at least compare its answers to
that of the DOS gnuplot).  I would try the command

gnuplot> splot x**2 + y**2

Intuitively, this should give a 3-D parabola.  However, Gnuplot/PM
give an odd functional which is monotonically decreasing.  In my book,
this is incorrect.

Realize that I am not hacking the entire package.  The sin(x) and
cos(x) and other 2-D stuff seemed to work, but don't trust the 3-D
plots.

All I'm saying is that you should try it against the 3-D version.
