Have you actually tried?  I get each file with its own line- and
pointstyle.

It may be possible to get the "dirlist.pl" simpler than the
following, though...

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  my $save =3D "\"";
  while (<>) {
      print $save;
      s/\n/", "/;
      $save =3D $_;
  }
  $save =3D~ s/, \"$//;
  print $save;
