Plot problem?

[Robert T. Short]

Hi Ben (and JWE)

I finally figured out what is happening with the circles.  This is a 
gnuplot issue.  Neither of my monitors are 4/3 resolution - my desktop 
is 1280x1024 (5/4) and my laptop is 1280x800 (8/5).  If I adjust the 
"set ratio" command to compensate, I get circles.  If I change the 
monitor resolution, I get circles. 

Ben, thanks for showing me how to do the "drawnow" debug stuff.  Made my 
life much simpler.

Bob
