Interaction between figure() and hold() in 2.1.50

[Glenn Golden]

Running 2.1.50, I'm trying to conceptually do the following:

    figure(1);  
    plot(foo1);

    figure(2);
    plot(bar1);

    figure(1);  
    plot(foo2);

    figure(2);
    plot(bar2);
        .
        .
        .

where I want to overlay foo1, foo2, ... in gnuplot window 1,
and overlay bar1, bar2, ... in gnuplot window 2.

I've tried every combinaion of hold(on/off), figure(1/2), plot(),
that I can think of, and I always wind up with either no "hold"
behavior at all (i.e., each window contains only the most recent
fooN or barN) or with both gnuplot windows showing identical plots
consisiting of all the fooN and barN plots overlaid in both windows.

I looked in the archives for answer to this, and found exactly
the same question in a posting on 14-Jul-2000, but there was no
response.

Tia,

Glenn
