Subject: Plotting many curves?

I'm trying to make a complicated plot with many individual curves, like

plot \
  x1(t), y1(t), \
  x2(t), y2(t), \
  x3(t), y3(t), \
  x4(t), y4(t), \
  x5(t), y5(t), \
  x6(t), y6(t), \
  x7(t), y7(t), \
  x8(t), y8(t), \
etc

After about 20 functions, it starts to generate errors. It looks like there is  a limit on the length of the command line? If that is my problem, is there any way to work around this?

Thanks!
