[Gnuplot-info] Windows gnuplot exits when you press the "Delete" key on a blank line

[Richard C. Y. <rc...@co...>]

I'm running gnuplot 4.0 patchlevel 0 on Windows XP Professional SP1.

This is to ask if there's any way to prevent gnuplot from exiting if I 
press the "[Forward]-Delete" key on a blank line.

I suppose that this is the analog of logging out by pressing [Ctrl]-D, but 
because the "[Forward]-Delete" key on my keyboard is close to several other 
oft-used keys (such as [Ins], for pasting, and [Home] and [End] for moving 
within a line), I have inadvertently exited the program a couple of times 
by accidentally hitting this key instead of one nearby.  Of course, there's 
no confirmation or save dialog to protect the clumsy user who failed save 
early or save often.  But, in few other cases is it possible to wipe out a 
few minutes of work "with just one click", or, in this case, 
keystroke.  [Ctrl]-D actually requires your hand to stretch.
