misc for readmes

[Petr M. <mi...@ph...>]

Here are some my observations (I've just read few INSTALL and README*,
but no time to edit it today):

***
README.1ST

Text:
generate and convert the images at the same time, as in this example:
        set terminal png medium font LucidaSansDemiBold
        set output '| convert png:- image.gif'


I think it should be like
    set term png font arial
or
    set term png medium
but not both together


WOW, there is a BUG in png:

    set term png font arial
    set term png medium
=> it does not revert to medium; someone can have a look?

My old complaint:
I always find the "Note 3" completely useless and vote for removing it.
(I don't consider myself to be an ordinary user of gnuplot but never met
gnuplot-mode; and I wonder how gnuplot 4.0 is affected by some files
not being present from this mode...)

GNUPLOT REFERENCE CARD(S)

There is a "gnuplot reference card" in docs/ -- but untouched since 1998.
Could somebody edit it a bit (at least like set no => unset)?
It could be put into web page if someone contributes.


Also, in lisp/gpelcard.tex, looks like yet another gp card -- but this is
a bit wrong and outdated like here:

\item[Using pm3d] \hfill \\
  All features of the pm3d patch to \textsc{gnuplot} should be
  available when using gnuplot-mode.  One particularly useful feature
  of pm3d is the ability to push a cursor position into the
  clipboard.  This is done by double-clicking \texttt{mouse-1} in the
  plot window, then doing \texttt{M-x yank-clipboard-selection}
  (usually bound to \texttt{mouse-2}) in the gnuplot script buffer.

... author obviously means Using mouse, and it's no more a patch.

How is this ref card related to docs/ one?
To be merged, deleted, ...?
