You don't have to do anything to achieve that effect.  Really.  At the 
start of a gnuplot session all variables and settings _are_ in a known 
state.

That's not a problem with the initial state of gnuplot, but rather with 
the state your script leaves gnuplot in.  Those changes will affect 
gnuplot if you re-load the same script again.  If you don't want that, 
put a 'reset' command at the start of your script, and set variables to 
the values you want them to have, at the start of the script.
