Dear,

I would like to be able to write the following:

# linestyle for error lines: thin, dash-dot, red
set style line 2     \
  linewidth 1        \ # thin
  linetype 5         \ # dash-dot
  linecolor rgb "red"  # red

For some reason GnuPlot crashes on this.

Could this be solved?

Best regards,

Francky Leyn

No, it displays an error message.  There's a difference.

No.  What you're trying to do goes against the general structure of 
gnuplot command line syntax.

FWIW, the equivalent techniques wouldn't work in shell scripts or C 
source, either.
