8.12.4: Combining columns from different files

Suppose you want to plot a column (`y', say) from one file versus a second column (`x') from a second data file. The easy way is to use a system command to create a new file, for example the Unix command `paste' -- but of course you don't want to clutter your filesystem with such files, so you should do this withing Gri:

read columns x y
draw curve
