Maybe use Google?
http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~vrable/gnuplot/using-gnuplot.html
http://lowrank.net/gnuplot/index-e.html is also a good source I use to refer to get help with gnuplot. Hope that will help.

Actually, I'm not sure that will help her do what she wants to do.
Traditionally, gnuplot data files contain multiple columns, e.g.:
# x y
1 2
5 10
6 12
rather than two single-column files, and I think the latter is what she
wants. I don't think that gnuplot supports that (though I could be
wrong). Thus, I think she needs to merge her two files, e.g.
plot "< join file1.dat file2.dat"
if I remember right....
As an aside, if you are going to be doing any data manipulation or
regression or such, I'd consider moving to R. I have a lot of respect
for gnuplot, and I used it a lot as a grad student, but just about
everything I want to do I can do in R and make it look better. The
learning curve is a bit nontrivial, but I've found it worth it.
