If I may get back to my suggestion, I understand that it may be

to add data labels via commands, but it would appear to me that it would
not be too difficult to add an option of selecting the values of a
variable as labels, since the option of adding labels to individual
points is already built in in the edit dialog of a scatter plot.
John, let me ask the more fundamental question, why would one want the
values as labels? I mean in a scatter plot the values are on the axes
and the location of the data point communicates those values already.
OK, sometimes one wants to see the exact digits and then a kind of
mouse-over tooltip effect is nice. But really printing/displaying the
values right now does not sound to me like a natural GUI feature.
