I upgraded to 5.10.0
But ? dataplot; just results in a message "false"

I also tried things like (after reading earlier messages):
xy:makelist([x,exp(-x*1.0)],x,0,10);
plot2d([discrete,xy],[lines,"no"],[points,"yes"]);

without any positive result.

The only thing I need is a function plot(x,y) which plots a "x" or a "o" 
at (x,y)
