[Gnuplot-bugs] suggestions

[<bea...@sa...>]

Dear Gnuplot Team

With Gnuplot 3.7 patchlevel 3 and the command shell (!) , it was=20
possible on Windows (... NT4,XP) to launch and run a DOS program=20
independently of the gnuplot functionning. It is not the case with=20
Gnuplot version 4.0. The pipe system with this new version is nice and=20
interesting but I have also lost something because I have included the=20
launching of my numerous DOS applications in the TxtMenu. For a small=20
example, with the last version it was possible to launch gnuplot from=20
gnuplot in order to keep the hand in the both. Now, it is not the case.=20
So it will be good to have the both command 'shell with pipe or not'.

In an other hand, I am using frequently the TxtMenu to include the=20
lauching of my applications. So I generate several TxtMenu files but I=20
need alors to put them in differents directories with a copy of gnuplot=20
exe. If it will be possible to launch Gnuplot and the TxtMenu with an=20
other name of the later (for example gnuplot_2.mnu), it would be nice.=20
This would ask to put an option name of the Menu after the name of the=20
Gnuplot program. In the same way, to increase the memory height for the=20
Menu will be good.

Thank for you work
