Shoot! Well, I tried all of the obvious things - except KDE and klipper.
(I am having enough 'fun' trying to learn GNOME.) The cut/paste
operation is very erratic and usually will not work. As suggested by
others, I tried entering "e" for replot with no results. I guess I am
having the same sort of flaky performance described by Dmitri.

I did notice one interesting thing. If the mouse is activated in gnuplot
and I double left click in the figure, the mouse position numbers are
pasted into the OO document with the center mouse button. In other
words, there is definitely some sort of clipboard/paste operations
between gnuplot and OO. It is just that the figure is not getting
pasted.

I am curious if anyone using Fedora Core 5 with GNOME has success with
this. 

Thanks,
Bob
