To expand a bit - the above command will change the default to be
dashed.  Whether or not you change the default, you can still toggle
it inside gnuplot by saying
	set term x11 {dashed|solid}

To make sure you have a set of dash patterns loaded:

	xrdb -merge < /home/local/lib/X11/app-defaults/Gnuplot.app-defaults

(or wherever you put them)
