The numbers in there are off by one --- you want to use 0,...,3 instead.

And this one is completely wrong.  You must use the data point count
pseudo column numer 0, i.e. either

	plot 'values.dat' using 2 with boxes   # automatically

or

	plot 'values.dat' using 0:2 with boxes

[If you can upgrade to the CVS version, this kind of plot will be a 
*lot* simpler.]
