That is very strange.  'unzoom' is a standard command that should always
be recognized.  Or you can use the 'u' hotkey in the plot window.

I don't understand the question.
'unzoom' will return to the same state as the previous 'plot' command,
but that isn't the same thing as "when gnuplot is started".
Are you asking about 'set autoscale'?
