Re: multiple X11 term in 3.8k

Your expectation is not correct.

There is no such thing as "going back to" a previous plot and
adding something to it.

This has nothing to do with x11; it is just the way gnuplot works.
You can choose a previous output device for a new plot,
but the new plot simply replaces the old plot.  It does not
"add to" it.
