This description is confusing.  wgnuplot is not a "console gnuplot". 
It's the MS Windows GUI version.  In the context of MS Windows, 
"console" is the opposite of "GUI".

The text window provided by wgnuplot is not a console --- it's what we 
use because we _don't_ have a console.

I'd really prefer to have this named 'gnuplot'.  'pgnuplot' is the name 
of a very peculiar program.  Using the same name for a program that 
works in an entirely different way is guaranteed to confuse people.
