As an aside:

   plot "Pen100-VBI-10.out" using 2:3 title "VBI10"  \
         linestyle 1 with boxes

would probably be sufficient ;-)

Are you sure you would be able to make out a yellow border line around 
an 80% yellow box on white background, especially if unlike your 
linestyle 1, it won't be output in triple width?  I suggest you try
"set style fill solid .8 border 1" to really see the difference.
