Well no, I meant the application.   My thought
was that if you ran applications A, B, and C simultaneously
(or three instances A, B, and C of a single application like
Octave), then the piped output from these apps to three separate
gnuplot instances would respectively start with a line
"myname =3D 'A'",  "myname =3D 'B',  or "myname =3D 'C'".
I suppose in this case you could say the application *is* the user.

But I still don't have a good picture of the environment Petr is
working in that pops up all these disconnected windows, so perhaps
this wouldn't help any.=20
