Thank you very much for your help; it is very much appreciated, because the
learning curve is rather steep from a standing start.
Right now I am simply trying to figure out what GT can do and how, before actually using it 
for anything useful.

gt does take a bit of time to learn, and it has different uses depending on
how you tend to invest and/or trade securities. as i tend more towards
investing, meaning very low frequency trading, graphic.pl and a few technical
analysis plots are my usual stock in trade. frankly i've found very
little use for the backtests and the systematic approach that gt provides.
but on the other hand, scan.pl and with a well defined trading system description
can be used to good benefit to flag securities that have tripped a flag
of some kind without having to look at a chart.

see perldoc graphic.pl and perldoc scan.pl for examples of these apps,
and do read the documentation files in GT/Docs, yell if you run into trouble.

BTW, in my graphing example I also should have omitted the double quotes as Ubuntu created the .png 
file with double quotes at the start and end of the file name.
But I got a graph, so I was happy :-)
