If it does, you have chosen a very strange version of gnuplot to run, 
for a newbie.  Because 'x11' and 'explorer' usually live on completely 
different platforms.

That's not really simple --- it's potentially nasty special case.  And 
with what I guess is the native windows of gnuplot for your platform 
(the wgnuplot.exe from the 4.0-win32 binary package), it works nicely. 
So which version are you using?
