It doesn't work like that.

As can be deduced from the say "set polar" is a global setting that is 
applied before you even issue a plot command, it really affects 
everything you plot from there on.

So if you really need to mix polar with non-polar data in a single plot, 
then either one or the other has to be converted from coordinate system 
(r,thera) to (x,y), or vice versa:

	x = r*cos(theta)
	y = r*sin(theta)

or

	r = sqrt(x**2+y**2)
	theta = atan2(x,y)

Please don't do that.  Your data files belong into your folders, not 
gnuplot's installation directory.
