Slightly off-topic and you probably get better answers from octave and
gnuplot lists, but here goes:

These are "raw" commands that get passed unprocessed from octave to
gnuplot. Octave doesn't have a built in plotter, but it does have a set
of matlab-like commands:

that are interpreted, and then sent to gnuplot for display.

Just a demo.

In gnuplot, you load a file with instructions using the command load,
the instructions are subsequently executed. They can also be entered
from the command line.
A very comprehensive set of docs for gnuplot can be found in
/sw/share/doc/gnuplot/
Simply type open /sw/share/doc/gnuplot/gnuplot.html in the terminal to
open the html version in a browser. There is also a pdf version.
For octave, see http://www.octave.org/docs.html or type 'help -i' at
the octave prompt (use up/down key to move and 'return' to choose).
Also, 'help <subject>' is very useful in octave, try 'help plot'.

I'm pretty sure the answer is never.

seems to work now;-)
