[comp.windows.ms] Help with Excel Graphing

I have a problem with plotting XY graphs on Excel 3.0. This is the
problem.
	X1	Y1	X2	Y2	X3	Y3
	7.5	3.2	9.5	4.2	10.5	5.2
	7.6	3.3	9.6	4.3	10.6	5.3
	7.7	3.4	9.7	4.4	10.7	5.4
	7.8	3.5	9.8	4.5	10.8	5.5
	7.9	3.6	9.9	4.6	10.9	5.6
I want to plot all these three lines on the same graph. Could some
enlightened Excel Guru please tell me how I can solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Select just the data for the first series (the X1 and Y1 columns) and
create the "initial" XY graph.  Then use the "Edit Series" command on 
the "Chart" menu to add the necessary references for the other series.
You should be able to figure out what the "Edit Series" parameters are 
by looking at the one it created for you.
