Hi,
a long time ago I was using Xplot3D, with subsequent call as:
xplot3d,overplot=1, .....
this will allow you to rotate and, if you have the dexterity, zoom on
the data...
'Hope that helps!

Nevermind. Plots doesn't write over what I already had. Thanks for
your help.

I was using plot_3dbox, but I suppose Plots in 3d is just as good.
But even in that case, I still don't see how to overplot. If I just
do the Plots command with a second set of data, isn't it just going to
write over my first plot? Am I just missing some oplot-type command
that works with 3 dimensions?

I think you will have to use something like PLOTS in 3D
space.
