Hi,

I'd never used ^d as a delete on *nix since I already have del and bkspc 
I suppose. I just use if for exiting.

This strange double function does not seem particularly good design but 
it been that way for decades so probably has not caused anyone to 
accidentally shut down the pumps on a nuclear reactor. I guess is can stay.

So it's a feature not a bug and in any case is not a gnuplot issue. (go 
bug readline about windoze mapping of del key).
