A side note: gnuplot.info has an index, so typing 'igrid' and
then <Return> would have got you there faster and easier...

That would have worked if you know what a "linestyle" is, and that yo=
u
must define one befor you can use it.  The info you're looking for is
there in the text:

 The grid can be enabled and disabled for the major and/or minor tic
 marks on any axis, and the linetype and linewidth can be specified
 for major and minor grid lines, also via a predefined linestyle, as
 far as the active terminal driver supports this.

Is it really that hard to concatenate "major" and "linestyle" from th=
is=20
paragraph and guess that that's what the "major_linestyle" is?
