+The **Gnuplot.jl** (note the leading `GP`...) package tells us that it
+is starting a new gnuplot process (version 5.0.0) and the number of
+the handle for the current session.  It also shows several lines
+starting with ` -> `, meaning "sent to gnuplot", with all the commands
+and almost all the data being sent.  The gnuplot replies are also
+printed, but they lack the ` -> ` string.  To change the amount of
+lines being printed you may set a different verbosity level (see
+documentation for `Gnuplot.setOption`) as an integer between 0 (no log
+at all) and 4 (lots of lines printed).  The default value is 2.

 Before proceeding we will brief discuss the four symbols exported
 by the package:
