The guru is only functional as a type selector.  I am working on
data selection now.  Select the region you want to graph before you
activate the guru.  bar/col, pie are usable.  scatter needs work.
There is code to parse XL charts, but not to pass that to guppi yet.
Printing works, persistence does not.

Good Luck, and remember your are playing with something under
development.  It is not something to use for your thesis.
