That was almost perfect :-)
I was confused by the first column showing up as single pixels but
when trying to type out something here about what the splot line was
doing I figured out that its doing 4 + type, and the first 'type'
variable is 1 so it was checking column 5 and up, not 4 and up.
I also took out the 'lc variable' because that was making each point a
different color instead of colored per column.

As a last thing I am now trying to get the legend to be more
descriptive then a wall of parameter text, I ran into sprintf but
'title sprintf("Type: ",type)' does not seem to work and will produce
a column of just "Type:" as a legend when put in the splot line in
front of 'with'.
Also, would it be possible to force a 'type' to be a specific color ?

Thanks so far, those few lines of code have been of great help :-)
