S-Plus is possibly the best all-around interactive/graphic statistics package,
but it's expensive at $ 850.  You might also consider Minitab (I don't know the
full package price, but an abridged "student version" is $ 40).  Also, NCSS
is something of a bargain.  It is not well-integrated, in that it's really a
collection of many routines, but it does have most of the features of the
more expensive statistics programs, and a lot of graphics options.
