What form that is depends on what kind of gnuplot you're running. AFAIK there are both Unix-ish ones and Mac-ish ones, which I suspect differ in their line break conventions. Traditionally there were three major formats: LF only, on Unix CR only, on MacOS (traditional) CR+LF, on Microsoft platforms Now MacOS X is supposed to be more Unix than traditional MacOS, including the line break convention --- I have no idea how they get that to work without running into walls like the one you encountered, every second step. There have to be translation tools hidden somewhere in all that GUI atmosphere.
