For me gnuplot.exe (4.4.2) accepts "Enter" correctly.

And correct sin(x) graph appeared in wxt terminal. 

All demo scripts worked correct at the demo directory with some files generated in the make process. 
It was confirmed using  gnuplot.exe.

For DJGPP  I  only did simple test 

gnuplot> plot sin(x) 
It worked correctly.  
For DjGPP, the some demos does work so that I did not carried out all.dem test. 

But I will try .....

Oops! Djgpp version seems not to support NaN

******************** file candlesticks.dem ********************
Hit return to continue
Hit return to continue
Hit return to continue
         "candlesticks.dem", line 32: undefined variable: NaN

The same error  occurred in gnuplot 4.5 cvs.
But this might be the limitation djgpp environments.
At the moment, in my opnion, it is better to ignore this issue and consider the treatment in the cvs
release.

(If I replace 'NaN' by '1/0' ,"candlesticks.dem" goes well.)

Before uploading them on SourceForge, wgnuplot.hlp should be modified.
As I wrote, my help workshop does not work correctly.
Therefore Petr kindly generated it. However it lacks the explanation of the cairo based terminals.

The gnuplot.rtf generated by make process includes explanation of only linked terminals.
I suppose that Petr's wgnuplot.hlp is genarated with his own environments.  
Perhaps his build environments lacks libraries for the cairo based terminals.

I have uploaded gnuplot.rtf for MS-help workshop.  If it is complied by the correct version of the
MS-help workshop, the help file will be complete.
