By not doing it from inside gnuplot, but rather from the outside.  Use 
whatever scripting or programming language you like to print commands 
into gnuplot's standard input stream.  E.g. using Bourne shell as the 
scripting language, if you're on Unix, a HERE script would do most of 
the job:

--- myscript.sh ---
#! /bin/sh
gnuplot <<EOF
  set term gif
  set output "$2"
  plot "$2" using 3:4 with lines
  unset output
  exit
EOF

to be run as

	for f in *.dat ; do
	   /some/where/myscript.sh "$f" `basename $f .dat`.gif ;
         done
