If he were on Linux, that would be a useful way to start off.  But not on
MS Windows, where gnuplot works rather differently from Unix/X11 builds.

MS Windows doesn't subscribe to the concept of GUI applications having a
connection to a command line (standard input/output channels) --- like
gnuplot running in an xterm (or piped to a controlling application), and
gnuplot_x11 does the graphical I/O.

That's where pgnuplot.exe comes in.  It's a console app, so it can
be run via pipes.  It then runs an instance of the normal windows
gnuplot and feeds all the characters arriving at its stdin to the
message queue of wgnuplot.
