You usually shouldn't have to do anything in particular to make the
typical GUI driver of your platform the start-up choice.  gnuplot
already does that by itself.  If the start-up terminal is 'unknown',
that probably means your build of gnuplot didn't actually include the
aquaterm driver.  The telltale symptom is that 'set term aquaterm' will
respond with an error message, and that aquaterm is not in the list
printed by 'set term'.

There are some tutorials out there on the net, some linked from our
own webpages.  There's the collection of examples.
