Oh, yeah.  Sorry, I misunderstood (jumped to wrong conclusion)

Lets see.  If I had a bunch of these kind of things:

plot {
title                   %g example plot 1
source                  perflogging
data                    disk_runp_c0t0d0 
line_type               area
line_type               line1
legend                  foo
legend                  foo2
y_legend                foo3
}

plot {
title                   %g example plot 2
source                  perflogging
data                    disk_runp_c0t0d1
line_type               area
line_type               line1
legend                  foo
legend                  foo2
y_legend                foo3
}

I can turn them into a single plot by merging them into this:

plot {
title                   %g example plot 1 and 2 combined
source                  perflogging
data                    disk_runp_c0t0d0 
data                    disk_runp_c0t0d1
line_type               area
line_type               line1
legend                  foo
legend                  foo2
y_legend                foo3
}

So, you want to split the 2nd form up into the first.  If the conclusion
I jumped to is right THIS time ;-)  Or maybe the first into the 2nd - yeah,
that's the ticket.
