"set term" vs "set terminal"

[Allin C. <cot...@wf...>]

Gretl writes, e.g., "set term png" when calling gnuplot.

We've recently had a report from a user who says his copy of 
gnuplot 4.2 won't accept "set term png" (but will accept "set 
terminal png").

I just tried building gnuplot 4.2.3 myself and had no problem 
with "set term".

Can anyone think of circumstances where there might be a problem 
using the abbreviation, or must this be a broken build of gnuplot?


Thanks.
