OK.  This works, thanks.  I experimented with the first couple colors.  
A keyword level solution with demo would be nicer to work with, I 
think.  However, that might be a bit too much work given lack of 
consistency across terminals... and the fact that 2D/3D plotting and 
layout are slightly different.  (I still think combining 2D/3D as much 
as possible would be a worthwhile step sooner than later... In 
January/February I will propose removing the BINARY_DATA_FILE switch to 
make plot.c and plot3d.c more similar.)
