Yes, I saw that paragraph, but it did leave me a
little in the dark. I guess "spacing" is using the
same units as "margins"?

I don't think it has anything to do with the 
concurrent use (or non-use) or "margin".

It is also weird that gnuplot gets itself so
wedged that even a "reset" does not help - I
have to quit and restart after every 
"mulitplot ... spacing".

(I really like the feature, otherwise - it solves
a recurrent problem with multiplot.)
