The output is awkward because there are dissimilar distributions plotted 
altogether.  There are also weird output artifacts that lead to those huge 
spikes that throw off the plots.  Minor output issues, nothing related to the 
actual results.

You have to separate the distributions based on what they are (as you'll note in 
the tutorial).  Just dumping everything into XmGrace is useless.  Either parse 
the histogram.xvg file with a simple script to write separate files or hide the 
dissimilar distributions.
