That's a good idea.  "All" should contain all.  However, then 'all.dem' 
will still not go all the way through.  Is there some small modification 
that can be made so that a syntax error does not cause gnuplot to stop 
when inside a file script?  Or perhaps the second level of files?  That 
is "load all.dem" calls "load" from inside the loaded file.  If there is 
a syntax error at that second level, perhaps just continue on?
