You can read the data into a nested list:
data: read_nested_list("mydata.dat");
If the data file consists of two columns, the data can be plotted directly:
load(draw);
draw2d(points(data));
If the data file has more than 2 columns, the two columns to be plotted
have to be extracted (e.g. column 3 versus column 1):
data1:map(lambda([u],[u[1],u[3]]),data);
draw2d(points(data1));
