Just a warning about the method mentioned by David Park. Someone might read the last statement: "If you click off a series of points, then Copy will give you a list of the points." as meaning that the points which lie along the graph are selected. This is not the case, the copy command simply grabs whatever (x,y) coordinates correspond to the mouse pointer's position on the screen - They are not necessarily points that lie along the graph.
