Of course that is possible: you would have to look at the functions Import,
Part, Transpose and maybe MultipleListPlot in the Standard-Package
Graphics`MulitpleListPlot`. But if that's all you want to do with
mathematica I would strongly recommend to save the time it takes to learn
even the basics of mathematica and the money for a license and happily use
gnuplot...
