AquaTerm 1.x isn't backwards compatible with AquaTerm 0.3.x, 
unfortunately "too old" in this case means "too new", sorry for the 
confusion.

Somewhere along the line you must have installed to AquaTerm 1.x but 
not upgraded gnuplot.

Easy solution: download AquaTerm 0.3.2, start it before running gnuplot 
if you have multiple versions around (beware that e.g. fink installs 
AquaTerm into /sw/Applications).

Best solution: install gnuplot 4.0
