I presume you want the series to show with "linespoints". To
get that effect it's not enough to specify a "pt" variant for
the line 1 style, you also have to activate it on the "plot"
line in the gnuplot file, as in

plot '-' using 1:2 w linespoints

(or just "lp" for "linespoints"). That's something you can't
do via the mechanism of adding "{...}" material to gretl's
"gnuplot" command, since gretl takes charge of writing the
"plot" line(s). Perhaps there should be a --with-lp option
to the command, but right now there isn't. So you'd have to
write out your own gnuplot command file and source it.

Good question. I'd say you're probably right (not to send a
plain "thanks" message), although if there appears to be any
doubt on the helper's part it can be useful to know if a given
suggestion has worked.
