Actually, from the way you describe you want the plot to look, that's not
actually a month (or, for that matter, any kind of numerical data) at all,
but just an arbitrary label for the data point.  Gnuplot doesn't do such
plots in any version up to the release 4.0.  You'll need the CVS version 
for that, or roll your own script to turn these "non-data" into labels
for a data x axis.
