label offset error on 4.1

[KITA T. <t-...@cc...>]

Hello,

# I am now using heavily gnuplot epslatex terminal for my
# dissertation. Thank you very much indeed.

It seems label offset setting does not work for some offset value on gnuplot
4.1 that I built today from CVS source.
The problem happens when I set a label string and the offset at the same time.

gnuplot> set xla "x"
gnuplot> set xla -10, -2

is OK, but, I get

gnuplot> set xla "x" -10, -2
                        ^
         invalid expression 

It's OK when the offset for x-direction is positive like
gnuplot> set xla "x" 10, -2


# I looked a bit into axis.c, parse.c and util.c, but I can't locate
# where the problem is.

Please compare this command to the actual syntax description found under 
"help xlabel": you're missing the 'offset' keyword.

Oops, that was literally 'offset'!
Thanks a lot for your quick reply to my misunderstanding.

Just a trivial comment :
If the word 'offset' is always necessary before the offset values,
I guess the help message for 'help set xlabel' =
