You've given me many things to check and read up on.

Under Xandros, from the desktop, Create New -> Shortcut ... seems simple enough. I can create a symlink to /usr/bin/gnuplot and it shows up on the desktop. Unfortunately, it won't run. I get a busy pointer for a few seconds then nothing happens. Oh well, I'll bet it is something reasonably simple. I'll read up on it when I get a chance.

gnuplot apparently did create a menu entry off the "Launch" button on installation: Apps -> Math -> gnuplot . It runs fine from there.

I can start gnuplot from a default console/terminal, so the path apparently is there (I haven't been able to find out how to read the present setting yet).

Thanks for the tips. I greatly appreciate it.

Cheers,
Scott.
