Thanks for spotting this. I propose the following text:

gnuplot.exe: Text (console) mode version of the gnuplot executable with all
the associated pipe functionality as it is usual on all other platforms.
This means that this program can also accept commands on stdin (standard
input) and print messages on stdout (standard output). This program replaces
pgnuplot.exe and it is recommended to use it for 3rd party applications
using gnuplot as graph engine, for example Octave (www.octave.org).

Feel free to comment/update.

Please go ahead and add this, along with any other description you think
would be useful.
