John - thanks for the quick reply (and, btw, the very useful tutorial).
I ought to have noted that the example works fine when invoked directly
from the command line, with the only change being that I move the data
into a file (mainly because I don't know the correct gnuplot syntax for
putting table data into a variable!).
I haven't updated gnuplot since installing it, so I believe the org-mode
<-> gnuplot unfriendliness lies in some effect that a recent pull of
7.01trans has had. (I did updated emacs-w3m from cvs the other day, so I
suppose thats another possible source of error, but it seems unlikely).
I agree that it appears that the table data being handed to gnuplot
from org-mode is somehow being formatted in a way that gnuplot does not
understand.
