[ gnuplot 4.6 ]

I'd like to plot a monthly cumulative line. I can plot a yearly line no problem with "s cumulative". This led to a few things:

I thought about using the new if/else,do/for,while syntax to do this. `help syntax` does not have any guidance about this - where might I read some more about using the new syntax?

Any recommended demos I should look at for either per-date cumulative or new syntax are appreciated.
