Hi Micha,
This is a good idea. As far as I know you can "pseudo-implement" that
by seting the .gnuplot file (or GNUPLOT.INI) in your home directory:
"[...] If the initialization file is found, `gnuplot` executes the
commands in it.
These may be any legal `gnuplot` commands, but typically they are limited to
setting the terminal and defining frequently-used functions or variables."
(see help .gnuplot for further details).
Cheers,
Hernán
