I don't think that this is the right place to post this.  This is the 
gnuplot mailing list.  It has nothing to do with PlotWS.   Any reports 
you want to make about that software should be addressed at its autors.

I don't think that's a good change.  After your change, any use of a 
plot filename containing blanks would fail.  This change breaks more 
than it fixes

Does it actually offer two-way interaction, i.e. are clicks onto the 
plot fed back into gnuplot?
