Thank you very much for your _quick_ answer.
I consider this patch as a _big_ step forward.

It works well. There is just one thing that could be improved. As I said
in my last message, in batch mode, each time a binded key is pressed, a
"pause -1" is eaten if the binded command contains:

set terminal x11

Doesn't that prevent you to reactivate a x11 terminal as many times as
you wish with the "bind all" technique? Is it possible to correct that
seemingly wrong behavior?

A further step forward would be to allow the user to "bind all" mouse
events. For example, a left button press is unused for 2D graphs, and
would be a very natural way to reactivate a x11 terminal. But of course
that is not essential and probably not worth a difficult patch.

Thank you again.
