Simple question

[Daniel J S. <dan...@ie...>]

This works:

gnuplot> system "date"; plot x; system "date"
Wed May 30 01:47:09 CDT 2007
Wed May 30 01:47:09 CDT 2007

Why not this?

gnuplot> system "date"; load 'mixture.gp'; system "date"
Wed May 30 01:48:13 CDT 2007
                                            ^
          warning: ignoring rest of line

Simple answer?
