   I need some help plotting 3D-points (x,y,z) with the 3D extensions
   to Gnuplot.  I downloaded the file from ames.arc.nasa.gov (I'm pretty
   sure that was it) and there are a few example files but I can't get
   it to work for me.  I just want to plot arbitrary (x,y,z) points.
   Is there some kind of sorting order that they must be in?  From the
   GLASS.DAT example, it looks like the data needs to have the same
   number of points in the x & y dimenesions...  I've tried playing
   with 'set samples' and 'set isosamples'...

Firstly, gnuplot is *not* a GNU project program.  the name is
coincidental and was chosen a long time ago.  

the 3d extensions to gnuplot are not officially part of gnuplot (yet).
the support you probably have is the original work and really lacked
in a lot of ways.  gnuplot version 3 is currently being tested and
improved and includes support for 3d that is quite good.  and it will
document it.  check your documentation to see where to send gnuplot
related questions.
