Aha. I understand now.

The answer for version 4.4 is to add the command
    set style increment user

This will cause the program to step through line _styles_ rather
than line _types_.

This command is obscure, non-obvious, etc, etc, and is not needed in
version 4.5, where you can use the more obvious commands:
   set linetype 1 lc rgbcolor "blue"
   set linetype 2 lc rgbcolor "black"
