Hi Michael,

I would recommending using a gnuplot code block rather than a plot line,
and passing your data to the code block using a variable.  Code blocks
give you much more direct access to gnuplot, which I find generally
makes gnuplot learning/debugging much easier.

see http://orgmode.org/manual/Working-With-Source-Code.html

add something like this to your config
(org-babel-do-load-languages
   'org-babel-load-languages
   '((gnuplot . t)))

then try something like the following

Best -- Eric
