I have done a bit of work on it in the past year, including creating a separate `gnuplot-comint-mode' for the comint buffer, which I think may solve the same problem as your patch. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Oh, I see. That's great; I'd much rather use the actively-developed tree instead
of my patches to an old tree. This thing seems to be in a bit of disarray right
now. The latest release on Bruce's site (not the github) dates back to 2002. The
copies in the gnuplot tree and in debian
(http://packages.debian.org/sid/gnuplot-mode) are all patched versions of that
old release.

Ethan, can we remove gnuplot-mode from the gnuplot CVS entirely? Currently it's
out of date, and active development is happening entirely elsewhere. To make
matters even worse, the copy in CVS doesn't even have a link to the latest
development tree. At the same time, I'd like to get the Debian package up to
date too. Jon, is the code currently in that git repo ready for release, or does
it still need work?
