which terminal are you using?
'some buttons' - i think it's 'wxt'.
there are some buttons to do some scaling/zooming/a.s.o.

here things are a little bit different, the buttons are not part of the
plot window but of the command window. most (nearly all?) of the buttons
are used to insert a string (e.g. function name) or a complete command
into the command line, which without these buttons you would have to
type in. it saves you some typing, nothing more, but i doubt, that
'clicking'
a command line together is faster than typing...
the advantage is, you can see at a glance which functions are available
or which (main) options can be set.

you should have a look at the various gui's written for gnuplot.
('Gnuplot front-ends' on http://www.gnuplot.info/links.html)
i installed 'An older Tcl/Tk interface for gnuplot' - the link
is broken, just google for 'xgnuplot' and find 'xgpl-1.0.tar.gz'
(and change '-xscroll' and '-yscroll' to '-xscrollcommand' and
'-yscrollcommand', resp., wherever it appears)
