Dmitri, thanks for your suggestion.  I downloaded and installed Gnuplot.app 
version 4.2.6 and I plotted successfully.

No empty plot.  Hurray! :-D

BTW, I haven't uninstalled /usr/bin/gnuplot, but I think I will try Ben's 
suggestion in his previous email, viz.,

Thanks again, Dmitri.  And thanks, too, Ben for all your time.  I really 
appreciate it.
