I have long lists of XYZ data that I wish to plot and manipulate in
Mathematica.  Most of the data is in tab delimited text format and my
specific data is beneath a 15 line header and after 6 columns of data
in the text file.

What function can be used import the data in the proper format to plot
in 3D, and which function should be used to plot this data?
Mathematica seems to favor 2D data plots or 3D function plots but has
very little info on 3D plotting in the help files.

Thanks
