I have tried my best to find an answer to this question, please bear
with me.

I have data in three columns like this

1.0 2.0 A
2.0 4.0 B
3.0 5.0 C
4.0 7.0 D

I want to do

plot 'mydata.dat' using 1:2

(BUT instead of the VALUE in the second column as "y", I want the
SYMBOL in column 3
to be plotted at that position on the xyplot)

like

plot 'mydata.dat' using 1:2 using the symbol in column 3

(How do I do it?)!

thanks in advance,

sfeam

Thank you ...

(I am mystified as to why I did not run across this solution OR
figured it out!)
