But unlike pwd and cd, which are needed for gnuplot's own operation (the 
current directory directory directly affects file lookup), 'ls' doesn't 
do anything for gnuplot.  It would therefore go directly against the 
Unix tool philosophy of "one tool <-> one task".  Because of this, I'm 
opposed to this change.

See "help loadpath".
