David, can you please deal with this report? You may want to talk to
Bill Bryant to see what sort of stuff we like to have in a typical
README file.

Subject: xmath NFS locker
As reported by Steve Ellis, "xmath" on the xmath locker looks for the
help file on the gnuplot locker. Therefore, the gnuplot locker needs
to be attached at the same time in order for the command "help" inside
xmath to work properly.
Perhaps a copy could be put on the xmath locker and the xmath binary
recompiled to use it instead?
Additionally, there is no README file on the xmath locker, as advertised
in the message that is returned by typing "gnuplot" to the Unix prompt...
If the README simply told people to also attach the "gnuplot" locker
before running xmath, this might be considered acceptable, but it'd be
nicer to have the helpfile on the xmath locker.
-Chris.
