I read it with R and next I want to draw a point for each line the X is in
col  2 and y is in col 3
but, I need that for each value of the first colomn , to have a color. Thus,
I want to get a draw with 3 colors for values 0 , 0.2 and 0.4

The probleme is that when I use points function; it plots to me lines and
not simpe points.

Thank you in advance for any input.

That seems unlikely, but without your code it's hard to figure out
what you did. As usual, the telepathy is not working.

Regardless, this will create a graph with points:

x <- read.table("clipboard", header=FALSE, as.is=TRUE)
# including data is good; including data with dput() is better

plot(x[,2], x[,3], type="p", xlab="X", ylab="Y",
main="Points")

And here's one way to color them:
plot(x[,2], x[,3], col=c("red", "blue",
"green")[as.factor(x[,1])],
xlab="X", ylab="Y", main="Colored Points")

You might be interested in ?par especially pch and also in ?legend
as well as in the basic help for ?plot and ?points.
