HELP on wisql Plot Control window

If you are reading this, you have probably turned on Plotting 
by means of the 'Plot...' item in the Results menu in wisql.

You are staring at a tasteful little gridded window.  Most of
it is a grid of information about one X and multiple Y vectors
for plotting.  To the right of this grid is a listbox.

Your first step is to get some text into that list box.  To do
so, just execute a SQL command in the main window (one which
retrieves some data).  A list of vectors should pop into the
listbox.

Now, if you select one of the vectors and then press the "V"
button next to one of the X or Y plotting vectors, you will
thereby associate the data in the vector with the plot axis
you selected.  In other words, decide which column of your
data is X;  select it in the list box;  press the V button
in the row that begins with the label 'X:'.  Assign one or
more Y likewise.

Now hit the Plot button to see your plot.

You can litter your screen with plots if you want to.  Each
press of the Plot button generates a new one.

The buttons labelled with a small 'c' will Clear the association
of data vector with plot vector. 

If you shut down the Plot Control window, ALL EXISTING DATA 
VECTORS ARE LOST.

If the spreadsheet is up, you can select areas of the sheet and
stuff them into data vectors.  First highlight the sheet area you
want to collect, then press the 'Get Data from Sheet' button
at the top of the Plot Control window.  The columns of data from
the highlighted region will be treated just like columns of data
from a SQL query.  A new dataset will appear in the listbox.

The InfoData button is intended to help you remember which data
are in which datasets.  First select a vector from the listbox,
then press the InfoData button to learn about that dataset.
