I know. It was just a slightly off-topic discussion (but I would
really be glad if wxt was ported natively to Mac - in a stable state -
even though it has nothing to do with gnuplot).

Yes, and it's really simple to use for a newbie. I don't use it (yet?)
for some reason, probably because I have old code lying around,
because I keep changing platforms I work on, and because it's
difficult to change old habits ... but the program is really worth
looking into.
