I agree with you, however regarding the recent discussions about the
spacebar which is supposed to raise the gnuplot window, it seems that
these functions which raise/lower windows are needed. I can imagine a
similar syntax for "close" :

"raise" =3D> raise all terminal windows
"raise <n>" =3D> raise n-th terminal window
"lower" =3D> lower all terminal windows
"lower <n>" =3D> lower n-th terminal window
"close" =3D> close all terminal windows
"close <n>" =3D> close n-th terminal window
