concatenate defined fields in time

[James T. Potemra]

Hi Stephano:

I think you can just use the "skip" function, e.g.,

'set t 1 600'
'd skip(taux,12)'

should plot every 12th point starting at t=1 (so every January).  You
can check by first plotting the entire time-series, then every 12th
point to make sure this is what you want, e.g.,

'set t 1 600'
'd taux'
'd skip(taux,12)'
