Mouse control

Developers and Users...

	I have been playing around with gnuplot inside of my perl scripts for a
bit now.  All is going well except for one thing.  When I use splot to
plot "x y z" groups I can use the mouse to move the plot around, ie:
like the viewing angle.  This is if I run gnuplot from the terminal.  If
I execute gnuplot from inside the script the mouse can not be used to
change the viewing angle.  I am starting up gnuplot in the following
way:

  open(GNUPLOT, "|gnuplot");
  GNUPLOT->autoflush(1);

  print GNUPLOT "

    set xrange [1:${maxX}]
    set xtics (1, 129, 257, 385, 513, 641, 769, 897)
    set format y \"%3.0f\"

    set title \"${Ltitle}\"
    set ylabel \"Average Pedestal\"
    set xlabel \"\"
  ";

  if($fullscale == 1) {
    print GNUPLOT "
      set yrange [0:260]
    ";
  } else {
    print GNUPLOT "
      set yrange [${minY}:${maxY}]
    ";
  }

  print GNUPLOT "
    splot '${tmpfile}' using 1:2:3 title \"\" pt 7 ps .5

    pause -1

  ";

  getc();


	Am I doing something wrong here, or is there something I can add.  I
thought that it is due to a strange setting of the display variable but
I checked that it is set to ":0.0".  Any ideas?
