Only if you set neither HOME nor GNUPLOT environment variables.  At least
the latter is recommended to be set, because otherwise gnuplot won't know
where to look for its startup file (~/.gnuplot equivalent).

Unfortunately Windows has no reliable tradition of a HOME directory we
could use instead of $HOME.  Windows 9x has "my files", but only the NT
family has a real home directory ($USERPROFILE, or $HOMEDRIVE and 
$HOMEPATH).

I'll check in a change to get_user_env() that looks for USERPROFILE.
Please check it out.  If it works, this will be the very last change
before the release, I hope.  Tell me about the results ASAP, so I
can re-tag and rebuild the tarball.
