Oh, I sort of passed the capital R in the back of my mind as a typing mistake, 
but yes gnuplot is case sensitive.  But I don't think it is a good idea to 
introduce capital letter commands as there are currently none and it just isn't 
very elegant.  (I just imagine one colleague saying to another "just type 
replot; with a capital R".)  "redraw" would work better as a whole new command.

Yes, something like that.  That's good.  But {file|pipe|all} to cover all bases. 
  (Avoid using a word like "both" because it implies two.  Who knows what the 
future might bring?)
