[Gnuplot-info] define Start-up settings

[WS12 <mei...@we...>]

Hi,

I am using gnuplot 4.2 on Win XP - and I like it!
But now 2 problems have arisen:
1. There is no gnuplot.ini on my system. So I want to create it. In which
folder do I have to place it? I tried 'C:\Docs and
settings\USERNAME\Application data\', but it didn't work. (In this folder I
have found 'gnuplot_history')

2. I want to plot graphs by starting a .plt file directly - without starting
wgnuplot.exe first. When I do so, the plot is displayed. But immediately
after the graph has been plotted, the window is shut down again. How can I
hold the window to watch the graph?

Thanks for help!

For some particular reason, or just on principle?

Well, according to 'help startup', you should have put it into 
%USERPROFILE%, i.e. "c:\Documents and Settings\[your User name]\".  But 
the documentation appears to be dragging a little behind things.  It's 
actually in %APPDATA%.  I just tried that with 4.2.3, and it worked.

Oh, and since you appear to be hailing from Germany, please note that 
the name of %APPDATA% would be "c:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\[your 
User name]\Anwendungsdaten" here.

add:
pause -1 "this is just the message box text"
  after the plot command
