I noticed the other night that nxyplot appears as an option in one of my
menus.  I think it was in WriteNow, possibly services, although I don't
remember excatly.  Anyhow, was this always there or did it just appear
since I added nxyplot?  If the former, why that particular program?  If
the latter, how does it know?

At the time I just though, Isn't this neat?  Now I am beginning to
wonder what is going on.  Is there some way to write a program so other
programs will just know it is there and can be used by the calling
program?  How?  (Note: I am not a developer.  I have just begun to work
through the IB tutorial and I am very ignorant.)
