Reading the context of my post, you should realize that "smooth" does not
refer to any gnuplot keyword (I was not aware there is such keyword,
otherwise I would of course have chosen an other word in my post) but to
an -yet to be written- external script smoothing the data in mydata.dat.
At the latest you should have realized that when you saw that smooth is
_inside_ the quotes, which can by no means refer to any gnuplot keyword!
