add colours to specific data columns in graph

Readers,

I have a data file formatted as follows:

#comment line 1
#comment line 2
x y z
1 2 3
1 4 6
1 16 12

How do I obtain red crosses for y/x and blue crosses for z/x in a
multiplot graph, with an appropriately stated legend? I've managed to
set up a load file with the legend box positioned outside (to the
right of) the graph, but I can't understand which command to use for
the aforementioned requirement.

Also, I notice that the first character of my legend text appears too
close (for my preference) to the right vertical axis of the graph. The
documentation for the command key (section 4328) doesn't seem to
indicate that I could indent the text: is this so?

Yours,

gnuplot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
