Yes, the behavior of your "gnuplot<inputfile.dat" example fits exactly
my need but its heavy CPU use is not acceptable. So I tried it in the
"gnuplot inputfile.dat" way, but then it doesn't work so well: the
application has to be terminated with both End and then Return in the
launch terminal (only one method should be used). So, as you say that
there is no problem with the pause command in that way, I hoped that you
would show me how to modify this example so as to use it with "gnuplot
inputfile.dat", and get the same behavior without the CPU use.

Thanks again for your help.
