even though Ethan has given a way to do this with system(), doesn't this  
output indicate a bug in the way several lines are concatenated into one  
useless string.

Not sure what the right output from this should be. First string, last  
string, space separated concatenation or concat containing line break  
ASCII 13 ??

One thing seems sure the current output "test1.dattest2.dat" is not a  
valid solution and can never be useful.

However,
    plot for [i=1:words(list)] word(list,i) title word(list,i)
looks highly useful.
