Huh?  
You mean I am supposed to issue a pop without a previous push?
[tries it - yes, that works]
No wonder I never got it to work before now.
So then what is the "push" used for?

Also, does this use require that "set output" comes before "set term pop"?
I note that the documentation current states:

	When both `set terminal` and `set output` are used together, 
	it is safest to give `set terminal` first
