aaarrrrrrrgh, I don't know how to use sed and awk and I'm just discovering Perl; 
but for the moment have to wait for better time!

That's the good format for the files I use. 'y' takes the form: 'y = f1(x)+f2(x)'. 
(These are experimental data) I'm interesting in f1 and would like to get rid of f2. 
I know what f2 and f1 *should look like* but don't know their equations .. And finding 
their approximations/expressions may take time.

That the reason I'm looking for something like a < WYSISYG-curves-editor >.
