Problem sorted!  Upgrading to 4.2 is unnecessary - and actually gave  
me weird epslatex latex code that i couldn't compile without deleting  
reams of information!  (gnuplot 4.0.0 gave a much simpler .tex file  
part).

So what was needed (after 5+ hours of playing about) was a "pause -1"  
command after the first plot, then the commands for the second plot...

I load all the commands into the terminal from a foo.gp file with a  
command to set the terminal to aqua at the end, so that I can see the  
output.  Weirdly, the aqua terminal has only the 2nd plot when the  
epslatex output includes both plots.  It is necessary to reset the  
terminal between each loading of the foo.gp to prevent getting the  
aqua style (2nd graph) output in subsequent epslatex  output files.

What I have learned is that you can't predict one terminal's output  
by looking at another's.

Hope this may be helpful for others in the future!
