Dear Bob,
Just in addition.
in your case the command will be
plot2d([1/(x-1),[parametric,1,t,[t,-10,10]]],[x,-2,4],[y,-10,10],
[gnuplot_preamble, "set term postscript eps enhanced; set style line 1 lt 1
lw 3;set style line 2 lt 3 lw 3;set output 'plot.ps'"],
[gnuplot_curve_styles, ["w l ls 1","w l ls 2"]]);
I've just checked it.
rgds,
