I've tried it:

With "set term windows":
- pause mouse key; show var
  pause mouse; show var
  pause mouse any; show var
  ... Work correctly
- pause mouse button{1-3}; show var
  ... Wrong: it terminates on any mouse button

With "set term wxt":
- all "pause mouse" commands work correctly in gnuplot.exe
- all "pause mouse" commands have a problem in wgnuplot{_pipes}.exe:
  MOUSE_ variables are filled correctly, but <enter> has to be pressed
  in the command window to return back to the command prompt

Could someone solve this bug?
Is this bug a stop for 4.4 release?

BTW, gnuplot.exe is used in Octave nowadays ... does ginput work on Windows 
correctly?
